Air Leak Detection
•
If you are losing air pressure, not caused by colder temperatures, check
the board for leaks, starting with the valves.
•
A leaking valve is rare, but if you do find a leak we can send you a
replacement valve. To locate a leak, 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. If you
continue to have problems it's probably time to order a new valve.
•
Replacement of the whole valve can be done with a simple tool that
•
comes with the replacement valve.
•
If the board is losing air and all the valves are good, you probably have a
small puncture. Small punctures can be repaired easily and permanently.
Spray around the inside and outside of the board until air bubbles become
visible and mark the position of the leak. If you do not find air bubbles,
inflate the board to maximum air pressure and try to listen to find the leak.
If you can narrow the area down, return with a spray bottle to identify the
source of the leak.
•
Punctures less than 1/8"in size can be repaired simply without a patch.
Deflate your board, then clean and dry the area to be repaired. Apply a
small drop of glue to cover the puncture, and let dry 12 hours.
