KERO Deck Bag User Manual

Deck Bag doubles as Paddle Float.

The deck bag:

- Waterproof protection with easy access
through the convenient roll top closure.

- A mesh pocket on top holds items that do
not need to be kept dry.

- Wide yellow reflective stripes on the
sides help you stay visible as it gets dark.

- Quick release buckles make it easy to
disconnect the bag and make it a paddle
float.

Here is how the Paddle Float works:

1. After a capsize, the deck bag is easy to

get to. With its internal structure it
maintains its volume and buoyancy.
The bag is attached
with 4 quick release
buckles to a web
harness that is in
turn attached to
the kayak.

2. Release the two buckles on the
off side of the bag, and flip the bag

towards you.
The paddle
pocket is now
facing up, and
you can secure
your paddle
blade to the bag.
The bag is still
firmly attached
to the kayak.

3. Release the last two buckles
holding the bag to the kayak and
secure the free paddle blade to the
kayak behind the cockpit. Your
"outrigger" is in place.

4. Climb back on board. The Deck bag
attached to your paddle blade provides the
buoyancy to stabilize your kayak.

6. Clip the deck bag into its harness,
and you are "back in business". With
the deck bag/paddle float combination

- your paddle float is always there

- there is nothing to inflate

- no wasted space in the kayak

- no free floating bag to keep track of

This is as good as it gets.

5. Release the paddle from the kayak and bring
the deck bag back on board.
