How to Fold the DEUS Aero Kayak

STEP 1: Remove the top, seat back, and any accessories including the foot bar and center fin from the DEUS Aero.

STEP 2: Use a hand pump or Aero Pump in deflate mode to remove all air from each chamber, including the seat back and removable top.

STEP 3: Fold the sides of the kayak inward. The nose will still be standing up.

STEP 4: Starting at the back of the kayak, make your first fold right before the center fin track.

STEP 5: Make a second fold right after the side bite fins.

STEP 6: Make two more folds from the back.

STEP 7: Fold the nose of the kayak down like a flag.

STEP 8: Fold front end one more time so that it lays on top of the folded back end.

STEP 9: Tightly secure folded kayak with provided strap.

STEP 10: Add the hull of the DEUS Aero kayak to the travel bag.

STEP 11: Fold the removable top in half and place it and the seat back on top of the folded DEUS inside the travel bag.

STEP 12: Secure all bag contents by tightly strapping everything inside of the travel bag using the bag’s interior buckles.

Place your foot bar, center fin, and other accessories in the outside zipper pocket. Don’t forget to strap your hand pump to the side of your travel bag!

TIPS AND TRICKS:

• Leaving your kayak deflated and in the sun for 10 minutes will make the material more flexible and folding easier.
• An electric pump not only helps to inflate faster, but it also makes deflating quicker and easier and helps to get every last bit of air out of the kayak.
