OPERATING YOUR SEA EAGLE
BEFORE & DURING USE:
Avoid damage. Do not drag your Sea Eagle over abrasive surfaces like asphalt parking lots, gravel or
concrete boat ramps, whether the boat is in its bag or inflated. Carry or wheel your Sea Eagle from the car to the setup point, and
then to the water when assembled.
Rocks and sticks usually will not damage a Sea Eagle but be alert for partially hidden or submerged hazards like metal signs,
shopping carts and other debris especially during periods of low water. Be careful of docks or pilings which may have exposed
nails or screws and marine life such as barnacles and oysters.
FISH SPINES:
Many species of fish spines have sharp spines than can cause small punctures in the SUPCat. Do not allow fighting
fish to bump the boat. Use a net to pull fish out of water when possible.
PADDLING:
Most of the power should come from your torso. Your arms contribute, but too much reliance on your arms will
cause you to tire quickly. For good balance, keep your head up and eyes focused on the horizon. Start paddling gently and
smoothly. As the boat picks up speed it will maintain a truer heading. If you dig in hard at first you will create more yaw. Course
corrections can be made by easing up or bearing down on one side or the other. Gentle turns can be made by sweeping water
behind the boat. Braking will allow you to maneuver sharp bends in a stream, for example, but kills forward speed.
In a crosswind, paddle more on the downwind (leeward) side of the boat to keep on a straight course. Paddling on the upwind
side will cause the boat to turn down wind.
