Product Description
A VERSATILE AND STABLE INFLATABLE SUP: KOVA 10'6
The Kova 10'6 inflatable stand up paddle board is designed for beginner paddlers looking for a reliable and accessible board. With its 81 cm width and 300 L volume, it provides excellent stability to help you progress safely, whether paddling alone or with a companion.
Its 10'6 shape offers an excellent balance between manoeuvrability and glide, making it suitable for relaxed family outings as well as first explorations on lakes, calm rivers or coastal waters.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND STIFF THANKS TO LIGHT DROPSTITCH
The Light Dropstitch technology (single-layer knitted construction) makes it possible to create a board that is both lightweight (8.2 kg) and rigid once inflated to 13 PSI. When deflated, the board and all accessories fit into the included carry bag.
Carry bag dimensions: 90 x 40 x 27 cm. All accessories fit inside the bag.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN USE THE BOARD?
The board can be used by one or two people:
- 1 standing adult + 1 child (seated or kneeling)
- 1 standing adult + 1 adult (seated or kneeling)
For optimal performance, the paddler's weight should not exceed 135 kg.
HOW DO I INFLATE MY BOARD?
Understanding your dual-action pump:
The included high-pressure pump can inflate up to 20 PSI. It operates in two modes thanks to its red plug:
- Red plug installed → Dual-action mode: the pump inflates when pulling up and pushing down the piston. Twice as fast, ideal from 0 to 10 PSI.
- Red plug removed → Single-action mode: the pump inflates only when pushing down. Easier to use above 10 PSI when resistance increases.
Inflation steps:
- Place the board on a flat and stable surface.
- Open the valve cap and check that the valve pin is in the raised position. If not, press it down and turn it a quarter turn. Otherwise, the board will not retain air.
- Ensure the hose is connected to the INFLATE side and connect it to the valve.
- Leave the red plug installed → Dual-action mode (0 to 10 PSI).
- Pump until approximately 10 PSI.
- Remove the red plug → Single-action mode, easier above 10 PSI.
- Finish inflating to 13–15 PSI.
We recommend stopping inflation at 13 PSI. Heat increases internal pressure, so regularly check your board's pressure in hot weather.
Deflation:
- Remove the fin first.
- Open the valve to release the air.
- Connect the hose to the DEFLATE side of the pump and pump to extract any remaining air.
- To fold the board, start from the end opposite the valve to completely expel the air.

CARE AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
- After each use: Remove the fin as soon as you leave the water, rinse the board with fresh water and allow it to dry in the shade. Never walk on the board with the fin installed.
- Heat: Heat increases internal pressure and may cause irreversible damage. In hot weather, reduce the pressure to 10 PSI and keep the board away from heat sources (walls, hot surfaces, car roofs). Never leave it exposed to direct sunlight, whether inflated or deflated.
- Long-term storage: Choose a dry, cool and temperate location. Store the board folded (without tightening it excessively) in its bag or fully deflated and laid flat.
- Cleaning: Use fresh water and a soft cloth only. Do not use solvents or aggressive cleaning products.
WARRANTY AND USAGE RESTRICTIONS
Manufacturer warranty: 2 years.
This board is designed for calm waters only (sea, lake, river without rapids). Do not use in whitewater or surfing conditions. Do not venture more than 300 metres from a safe shelter.
