Manhattan G5 Inflatable Paddleboard Manual

Welcome to the NIXY Team!

We are Southern California adventurers providing top-quality inflatable SUPs, designed for excellent performance, durability, and easy portability. The NIXY Manhattan G5 is our performance touring board, built for long-distance glide at a workout pace. Its 30 inch outline tracks straight and moves quickly, while carbon fiber reinforced rails and dual carbon stringers keep it stiff under power. Made with FusionTech™ dual layer laminated woven drop stitch and welded seams, it sits between our wider expedition boards and our race board, giving intermediate to advanced paddlers speed with a little more forgiveness.

INSTALLING THE FIN

Your Manhattan G5 uses a single tool-less, removable 9" center fin that fits US and FCS™ style boxes. Slide the fin base into the fin box channel, move it to the position you want, and lock it in place with the tool-less pin until it is secure. Remove the fin before rolling the board for storage.

INFLATE & DEFLATE

WARNING: Do not remove the valve when inflated or to deflate your inflatable SUP.

The inflating valve has TWO positions: INFLATE (UP) and DEFLATE (DOWN). Make sure before inflating your iSUP that the valve is in the INFLATE (UP) position.

TO INFLATE

1. First, lay down the board on a flat surface free of sharp objects.
2. Then, open the valve cover and ensure the spring is in the UP position.
3. Next, connect the Typhoon+ pump hose to the valve and twist clockwise to secure the hose.
4. Inflate the iSUP to 15 psi. Use double action to fill the board quickly, then switch to single action when pumping gets hard.
5. Finally, remove the hose and close the valve cover.

Note: When inflating your iSUP, it will feel and look full. The gauge will not register until it reaches at least 6 psi. Therefore, continue to pump the board until the pressure gauge indicates 15 psi.

TO DEFLATE

1. First, remove the fin and any cargo from the deck.
2. Open the valve cover, and press the spring down until it locks in place and releases air.
3. Then, begin rolling the iSUP from the nose to the valve to push out the remaining air.
4. Finally, push the valve spring to the UP position, close the valve cover, and pack the board in the wheeled backpack.

PADDLE

The included 3-piece paddle adjusts from 170 to 213 cm. Adjust the paddle height to roughly 12 inches above your head for touring. A longer paddle works for long and gentle strokes. Conversely, a shorter paddle makes for sharp and powerful strokes. NOTE: Always paddle with the logo facing forward.

BOARD CARE & STORAGE

• Avoid dragging your board on rough surfaces to prevent scratches and abrasion of material.
• Do not stand on your board outside the water.
• Rinse your board with fresh water after each use, especially after salt water.
• Clean your board with a non-abrasive cleaner and allow it to dry completely before storing it in the travel bag.
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight or harsh weather conditions, including temperatures above 90°F or below 32°F. The board can be stored inflated or deflated.
• If inflated, release air to lower pressure and keep it in a shaded area. If deflated, store it in the wheeled backpack that the SUP came in.
• Use the included repair kit for small punctures, and contact us before attempting larger repairs.

WARRANTY

Your NIXY G5 board includes a 3 year limited warranty from the date of purchase covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Included accessories carry a 1 year limited warranty. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, misuse, impact with rocks, docks or shore break, storage in water, in direct sunlight, or in temperatures above 90°F or below 32°F, alterations, or mishandling such as dragging on rough surfaces. See full warranty terms.

RETURN POLICY

You have 30 days from purchase to return your board for a refund of the original purchase price, and we never charge a restocking fee. If you change your mind, a flat $35 return fee applies and the original $35 shipping is not refunded. Boards must be returned complete, with the paddle, pump, leash and bag, in the same condition you received them. If your order arrives damaged or we made a mistake, we cover shipping both ways. See full shipping and returns policy.

SAFETY WARNING

• Always wear a life jacket (personal flotation device).
• Do not use the board if you cannot swim.
• Avoid paddling alone, and always wear a leash.
• Do not use the board in adverse conditions.
• Be careful when paddling around sharp objects below the surface.
• Minors must be supervised at all times.
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity of 350 lbs (159 kg).
• Do not over-inflate or under-inflate the board.
• If a puncture or leak occurs, return to shore immediately.
• Do not use in white water or strong winds/currents.
• Finally, do not use compressors. Over-inflation of the board will void the warranty. Use pumps designed for iSUPs.

Our customers are a huge part of our success and your adventures inspire us in every way. Consequently, we strive to consistently improve our products and give you the best inflatable SUP experience.
