The recommended pressure for our board is 12—15 PSI. Depending on the size of your board it can take anywhere from 4—6 minutes.
The recommended pressure for our inflatable boards is between 12 and 15 PSI.
If the temperature outside is above 25 degrees Celsius, we recommend inflating the board only up to 13 psi, since the pressure will increase naturally, due to the heat.
There is a little spring pin inside that locks itself in two positions:
Deflating position (air coming out freely) and inflating position (100% Airtight). To switch from deflating to inflating, simply push the pin and the pin will lock itself in a up position and the air will not be able to come out unless you push the pin down again.
Yes, all our pumps are designed to fit all of our inflatable boards.
Taking care of your SUP is pretty easy, with little regular maintenance required. But to keep your board in tip-top shape for as long as possible, here’s some simple things to be aware of:
Don’t expose your board to sunlight for too long, as this can cause permanent damage. Store indoors, in the shade, or in a reflective bag when not in use.
After paddling in the ocean, rinse your board and all accessories with fresh water. Failing to rinse-off salt and other debris can weaken seams and damage your board’s material over time.
Regularly check for cracks, scrapes, or any other issues. The faster you identify a problem, the quicker it can be fixed to avoid too much long-term damage.
Proper SUP storage is crucial for increasing your board’s longevity. Here’s some top tips
Make sure your board is fully dry before deflating, folding, and storing away. Storing your board when wet or damp can cause permanent damage over time. Not to mention the mould that could develop if you go a long period of time not using your board!
Always store your SUP in appropriate temperatures. Whilst our boards are designed to be super durable, extreme hot or cold conditions won’t be ideal in the long-run. We recommend storing your board anywhere between 5 – 40°C (40 – 105°F).
Always remove your centre fin. If you deflate your board and try rolling it up with fins still in, this could cause permanent damage.
Our iSUPs have been specifically designed with ease of travel in mind. Whether walking, driving, or hopping on a plane, travelling with your iSUP shouldn’t be a struggle with our included travel backpack.

Many people assume SUPs have to be stored deflated, but that’s simply not the case. In fact, if you regularly use your board, we recommend keeping it inflated for ease and to save time!
As long as you keep your board away from direct sunlight, you can keep it inflated for as long as you wish. Just be sure to avoid stacking heavy objects on top of it, as this could cause damage.
First of all, don’t panic! Experiencing a leak can be pretty common with inflatable SUPs, and most are simple to fix.
The first step is to locate the leak. The bubble test is the easiest method of doing this. Simply spray your board with soapy water, and look out for where the most air bubbles appear – this will be the source of your leak.
Once located, you can use a patch from your repair kit to repair the leak. Secure the patch in place using toluene glue, and you’re able to safely take your board out on the water again.
If you have any questions regarding leaks, or if there’s anything you’re unsure about, we’re always here to help. Get in touch with our technical support team by emailing support:info@funwaterboard.com
SUP Safety
If you’re a newcomer, we strongly recommend wearing a floatation device at all times. It’s also best to wear waterproof clothing or even a wetsuit, ensuring you’re always prepared should you get wet!
For more experienced paddlers, simply staying comfortable is key. Being sure to protect yourself from the sun is crucial, especially when paddling close to the coast. A cool breeze can easily mask how hot temperatures are truly getting, and you’ll be more exposed to sunburn as sunlight reflects back up off the water.
Wearing clothes with wicking properties is ideal too, as you’ll be kept feeling cool and dry.
Regardless of whether you’re in a rough ocean or calm lake, a leash is essential. Not only will this keep your SUP safely attached to you should you fall off, but also prevents your board being swept away beyond reach. All our SUPs come complete with a secure coiled leash.
SPF is equally important to avoid sunburn. And, if paddling in unfamiliar areas, we recommend water shoes for protection.
In short, you can’t! Falling is a totally normal aspect of paddleboarding (especially when learning), and is nothing to be scared of.
If you do feel you’re going to fall, knowing how to fall correctly is crucial to avoid damage. Aim to fall directly into the water, as falling onto your board can cause injury. And be sure to keep hold of your paddle.
Whilst we firmly believe anyone can SUP, this unfortunately doesn’t apply to those who can’t swim.
As falling is a completely normal aspect of paddleboarding, you’ll be putting yourself and those around you in danger if you’re unable to swim. Regardless of whether you’re paddling in shallow waters, you MUST know how to swim before attempting to paddleboard.
Absolutely! You can definitely paddle with your pups, provided they’re confident in the water and you’ve got the right board.
We recommend the 10’8 Cruise when paddling with smaller dogs, or the larger 12’ and 15’ models if you need a little more space.
Provided you’re using a board that’s large enough, absolutely!
Soapy water should do the trick! We also like to use mineral spirits for those tougher stains.
Yes! The paddle floats for a good amount of time for you to find it when you lose it but will eventually fill up with water and sink after a few minutes. The foam piece inside the paddle makes it float, and therefore it only floats when the whole paddle is connected.
WARRANTY & REPAIRS
Yes,our FUNWATER provides a limited 1 year FABRIC/1 years THE SEAMS/1 year ACCESSORIES warranty.Damage due to misuse or negligence is not covered. Warranty period starts from the date of purchase.You can read more about our warranty here:https://www.funwaterboard.com/pages/warranty
Generally, the pressure gauge will start to register a pressure reading after the board reaches 7 PSI’s which is about 100-120 pumps. Make sure the pressure gauge isn’t loose and that the dial on your pump is not stuck in between settings.
Suggest: All our boards are made with Strength PVC and are built to withstand minor impacts to rocks, wood pilings or sunken objects. Caution is recommended when you encounter harsh terrain. Punctures caused by extreme conditions are not covered under warranty.
The wrench included in the repair kit should ONLY be used for leaking valves. Should you hear air escaping around the edge of the valve please ONLY use to tighten by turning clockwise. It should never be used to deflate your board. Improper use of this tool will void the board warranty.
First, cut out a smaller piece of the patch just big enough to cover the hole. We usually use a bottle cap or something like that ends up making a good size patch. Next, Clean the patch and board (area that will get glue) with an alcohol wipe. Allow to dry. Then, apply glue to each side (patch and board) and let the glue sit for a minute to get tacky. Last, Place patch on board over hole and clamp it down (bar clamps or hand clamps work best) for about 12 hrs. You can also use a heavy weight (> 20lbs) if you do not have clamps. That should do it. If your patch is too big, you will have to do little sections at a time (whatever you can compress with weight/clamps), that is why you don't want to use the full patch that comes in the repair kit. As always, if you need further assistance, please let us know!
Our board will comes with a free Repair Kit, include several PVC patch,, Repair Bucket and Wrench.
