Tie the prepared boards of the same length together with the ropes through the pre-made holes, attach the air tires to them with the old bicycle inner tubes and off you go! It is best to paddle with two tires facing forwards and one facing backwards (helmsman). The person at the front paddles to move forward and the person at the back steers the direction.
