Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Finder Air Series suitable for me?
A: The Finder Air Series is designed for both beginners and experienced paddlers. It is very versatile and especially suited for long-distance touring or adventure due to its perfect balance between speed, stability, and cargo capacity.
Q: What kind of water conditions can I use this board in?
A: This board is suitable for almost every water condition including open water and flat water.
Q: What is the ideal paddler weight?
A: To achieve the best waterline, the rider should weigh 40- 85 kg (Recommended Limit: 40 – 110 Kg, depending on the model).
Q: How to choose between 12’6″ and 14′?
A: Finder Air 12’6″ has a width of 31″ and is therefore more stable. The board is more suited for beginners who plan to travel short to medium distances for their adventures.
The 14′ long Finder Air, on the other hand, is faster and has a higher cargo carrying capacity. The board is more suited for paddlers who like to travel far or want to participate in competitive racing from time to time.
Q: How much air pressure can this board take?
A: The maximum air pressure of the Reinforced Drop Stitch (RDS) material used in this board is 18 PSI or more. For use in flat water in Hong Kong it is recommended to pump the board to at least 12 – 15 PSI, or 18 – 20 PSI for long-distance touring or racing. The higher the air pressure, the stiffer the board is.
(Reminder: When on dry land, do not leave the board fully inflated under the sun for a prolonged period of time. Either leave the board in the water or lower the air pressure to avoid damage.)
Q: Describe the Finder Air Series with one sentence?
A: The most versatile and reliable board type we have.

How to use
Recommendations
- Always wash with fresh water and let the SUP board dry before storage for longevity
- Do not leave the SUP board inflated on land for long period of time to avoid over expansion of the air inside
- Pump your board to the appropriate pressure (PSI) when use: 12- 15 PSI for recreational use in flat water, 15 – 18 PSI for long distance touring in open water, or 18 PSI for racing
- Always wear your leash when paddling to stay attached to the board if you fall.
