How to correctly install the hook-and-loop straps to the Tiwal?
It is important to properly attach the hook-and-loop straps to the structure to ensure the best possible rigidity of the boat.
- During the first assembly, slide the straps (tab facing the inside of the hull) on each of the rings provided (8 straps to be installed on the Tiwal 3, 4 straps on the Tiwal 2).
- Close the bands around the red seam following the diagram below.
- Once installed, you can leave these bands permanently attached to your hull.

CAUTION: avoid getting sand on the hook and loop straps.
