DETECTION OF LEAKS AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Your new stand up paddleboard is made from a durable PVC. If a tear or puncture does occur, PVC is very easy
to repair. Repairs are easily done with your included patch kit. Read the following paragraphs for leak detection
and repair tips.
LEAK DETECTION
If you are experiencing air pressure loss, not caused by colder temperatures, you need to check the board for
leaks, starting with the valve location. To locate a leaks, we recommend mixing soap and water in a spray bottle.
Spray around the valve. If you see bubbles forming, check your valve seating and base and be sure the valve
insert is screwed tight or make sure the valve pin is in the fully up position and the valve is free from any debris
keeping the pin from fully closing. If you continue to have problems you may need to order a new valve. The
valve can be tightened or removed and replaced with the valve wrench tool that comes with the SUP.
If the board is losing air and it is not in the valve location, you probably have a small hole. Small holes can be
repaired easily. Spray around the board until air bubbles become visible then mark the location of the leak. If you
do not find air bubbles, inflate the board to maximum pressure and try to listen for leaks.
REPAIRS
Your SUP comes with a repair kit as standard equipment. Cut a piece of repair material large enough to overlap
the damaged area by approximately 1/2", and round edges of patch. Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the under
side of the patch and on the area to be repaired on the SUP. Too much glue will interfere with a proper adhesion.
Allow adhesive to become tacky for 2-4 minutes, and then place patch over the hole. Use a weight of some kind
to apply 3-5 lbs. of pressure for 12-24 hours. Once adhesive has cured, apply a small amount of glue around the
outside of the patch to seal the edge. Dry for 4 hours.
