How to Set Up Your Drop Stitch Inflatable Dock | The Ultimate RadPadz® Cannonballer Guide

Nothing beats a perfect day out on the water, but no one wants to waste precious lake time struggling with complicated gear. If you just got your hands on the RadPadz® Cannonballer inflatable dock, you’re only minutes away from the ultimate floating oasis.

Whether you're setting up on a sandy beach or launching straight from the boat, our step-by-step deployment guide will get you out there making waves in no time. Let’s break down how easy it is to get rad!

The Step-by-Step Cannonballer Setup Guide

1. Unroll Your Cannonballer

Find a clear spot on the beach or a flat deck area. Unpack your heavy-duty drop-stitch dock and unroll it completely. Make sure the inflation valve is facing up so it's ready for action.

2. Inflate to 4–6 PSI

Connect your high-pressure pump hose to the inflation valve. Pump it up until your pressure gauge reads between 4 and 6 PSI (5 PSI is usually the sweet spot for rigidity!). Because of our premium drop-stitch technology, it will become rock-solid, giving you a sturdy, rigid platform that feels like a deck.

3. Secure Your Anchor

Don't let your floating paradise drift away! You have two great options to secure it:

• Option A (Boat Tie-Off): Secure the heavy-duty marine-grade ropes directly to your boat’s cleats or transom.

• Option B (The 20L Sand Anchor Bag): If you're hanging out near the shoreline, open your heavy-duty yellow 20L sand anchor bag on the beach. Bend over, grab the sides of the wide opening, and drag it through the sand to fill it up. Roll the top tightly, squeeze the air out, clip it shut, and attach the bungee line to your dock.

4. Launch & Get RAD!

Toss it into the water, gather your friends, and start the party. Whether you're working on your backflips, lounging in the sun, or using it as an extension of your boat's swim platform - it's time to send it!

Setting up a premium inflatable dock shouldn't be a workout. With the Cannonballer, you go from packed away to a rock-solid floating party pad in under ten minutes.
