How to choose your bodyboard size?
Bodyboard size has a direct influence on stability and maneuverability. It must be adapted to the user's size. This tandem bodyboard is designed for bodyboarding in pairs, with a child in the front and an adult in the back. For proper use of the product, the weight of the child must not exceed 40kg and that of the adult must not exceed 80kg.
For use in supervised swimming areas only.
Directions for use
This bodyboard can be inflated by mouth or with a pump bag (sold separately). Do not inflate too hard, as an over-inflated bodyboard will not glide as well and could be damaged if exposed to high temperatures. During the gliding phase, this bodyboard is best used lying down. It's important to wear a long-sleeved anti-UV top or a neoprene wetsuit to avoid chafing on the stomach and arms.

Behavior and safety
WARNING: If this product is used by a child, it must be supervised by an adult. Particular care must be taken in windy and/or currenty conditions.

How do you keep your inflatable bodyboard in good condition?
To keep your bodyboard in good condition, we recommend:
- Do not jump with it in a swimming pool.
- Do not leave it inflated in direct sunlight or at temperatures >30°C (deflate it after use). Particularly in a car in direct sunlight.
- Before taking your bodyboard into the water, check that it is in good condition, that no welds or seams are damaged, that the valve is securely closed and that it will not deflate.
What to do if the bodyboard deflates?
It's normal for the air pressure in your bodyboard to change over the course of the day, or when you put it met in the water. In fact, any drop in temperature causes a drop in air pressure, so it's a good idea to re-inflate the board occasionally by mouth.
If, after re-inflation, the bodyboard loses pressure significantly during a session, this is not normal. If this happens, make sure the cap is properly closed.
What should I do if I notice air leaks or if the cap doesn't fit?
Particular care must be taken to use this product in the intended conditions. Any inappropriate use is to be avoided.
If, after normal use, the cap does not stay in place or air leaks can be observed in the bodyboard's welds, the warranty procedure will apply within the stipulated time (2 years).
What to do if the valve leaks?
If the valve leaks, this is usually due to the presence of sand, which simply needs to be removed.
To do this, partially deflate the bodyboard and allow it to dry (dry sand will be easier to remove than wet sand).
Use a pump to blow on the valve and blow away the sand grains by pressing the push-button (blowing into the mouth may work, but may moisten the sand).
In all cases, the cap must ensure a watertight seal.
