2. Assembly / Inflating Instructions
The illustration below shows the general assembly of the kayak, with optional thigh
straps (sold separately)..
Your kayak comes from the factory pre-assembled.
The only assembly you should need to do is attach the adjustable seat.
The StraitEdge Kayak has a rigid frame in the bow and stern that
enhances its performance.
Assembly Instructions
1. Insert aluminum Bow rib and the Stern rib into the webbing slots on the StraitedgE
air bags and webbing slots on the kayak floor, at the bow and stern..
2. Attach air bags to the outer cover by tightening the “air bag compression straps” and
buckling the “air bag buckle”. Do this while the air bag is deflated. These are preset
at the factory and may not require any adjustment.
