How to deflate your inflatable stand up paddle board

There are a lot of guides about how to inflate your stand up paddle board. Heck, I’ve featured 2, here and here. But, there aren’t many about how to deflate and pack away your board. Today, that changes.

After paddle boarding you often need to lug about a huge, heavy and long board, lift it onto your roof racks, tie it down, etc… With an inflatable SUP, all you need to do is let the air out, roll it up, pack it away in the backpack it comes with and throw it in your trunk, stash it in your closet or throw it below deck ready for the next session. Let’s see how easy it really is.

That’s it, let the air out, remove the RSS battens, remove the US box style fin, roll it up, job done.
