The stand ships folded flat in its own bag. It opens out into an X — the trick is knowing the longer legs go on the bottom.

Steps

  1. 0:23 — Take the stand out of its bag.
  2. 0:33 — Twist the stand to one side. The longer legs are the bottom legs.
  3. 0:40 — Hold it upright, take two opposite corners, and open it out.
  4. 0:47 — Set it on the floor, longer legs down, ready for the board to sit on.
Tip: if the stand looks unstable or tips easily, you've likely opened it with the short legs on the bottom — fold it back and flip it.
Caution: set the stand on firm, level ground before you rest the board on it, and keep it clear of foot traffic — a board sliding off a stand takes gelcoat with it.
