HOW TO | Assemble and Store an Aquaglide Inflatable Kayak

Assemble your Kayak:
• LOCATE A DRY AREA TO UNFOLD THE KAYAK.
• MAKE SURE THE VALVES ARE CLOSED, PRESS AND TWIST THE VALVE STEM
• INFLATE THE FLOOR TUBE FIRST.
• INFLATE 3/4 OF ONE OF THE SIDE TUBES.
• INFLATE THE OTHER SIDE TUBE COMPLETELY, THEN FINISH
• INFLATING THE FIRST SIDE, THIS WAY YOUR KAYAK WILL BE BALANCED
• FLIP THE KAYAK TO INSTALL THE FIN, YOU WILL NEED A PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWDRIVER.
• PLACE THE SCREW PLATE INSIDE THE FINBOX. INSERT THE METAL GUIDE OF THE FIN IN THE CENTER OPENING AND SLIDE THE FIN AND PUSH INTO THE FINBOX. INSERT SCREW AND TIGHTEN DOWN FIRMLY. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
• FOR ONE PADDLER, PLACE THE SEAT IN THE CENTER, HOOK THE SEAT STRAPS INTO THE D-RINGS AND PULL TO ADJUST THE STRAPS AS NEEDED
• POSITION THE FOOTREST, FOOTREST CONNECTS TO THE FLOOR WITH VELCRO. TEST TO ASSURE YOUR LEGS ARE SLIGHTLY BENT.
• FOR 2 PADDLERS, FIRST PLACE THE SEAT IN THE BACK, HOOK THE SEAT STRAPS AND ADJUST THE STRAPS AS NEEDED
• PUT THE FOOTRESTS IN PLACE AND YOU ARE READY!
Store your kayak:
• REMOVE THE FOOTRESTS AND CORE SEATS FIRST
FOLD THE SIDE SUPPORTS IN, AND STORE THE SEATS IN THE CARRY BAG.
• UNSCREW, THEN LIFT AND SLIDE OUT THE FIN, REMOVE THE SCREW PLATE AND SCREW THEM BACK INTO THE FIN THEN STORE THEM IN THE BAG
• OPEN THE VALVES TO DEFLATE THE KAYAK, PRESS AND TWIST THE VALVE STEM. WAIT A FEW MINUTES.
• FOLD THE SIDES TOWARDS THE CENTER FIRST, AND START ROLLING IT UP FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE VALVES

I have one, great kyak but impossible to get back into its bag. My bag is different to the one in the video.

I'm looking at the chilene and Blackfoot 130 and 140 ! Any advice ?

[@donsmith3857]

How long does it take to adequately dry this kayak out after use?

[@ArrTee37]

First use today, took approx 2 hours in low evening temperatures to dry. Out of the sun floor out, wiped down bottom after drainage

sorry but put the fin before all the rest is done is not a good thing to do especially if you sit on the kayak with the fin already fixed.....
