Deflating and packing up

Also: packing

When packing up, you first open the main valve, let the air out and roll the boat up towards the valve.

On boats with a luggage compartment in the tube, the valve comes first, then the zipper. According to the Packrafting Store, the boat may be packed wet for short transport. At home it should be cleaned and dried, though. Boats with a TiZip zipper must never stay packed wet for more than 48 hours.
