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 the board
is losing air and all the valves are good, it probably has a small puncture.
Small punctures can be repaired easily and permanently. Spray around the board until air bubbles
become visible and mark the position of the leak.
For leakage on the valve cover
A. Use wrench(n) to disassemble the valve and check the position.
B. Valve's position deviate:
i. Find out the correct position;
ii. Cut out the extra trim edge;
iii. Put an extra seal ring on top;
iv. Assemble the valve back and charge to recommended air pressure.
C. No deviation:
i. Clean the thread on the surface of the base or inner part.
ii. Assemble the valve back.
iii. Inflate the SUP until it's flat.
iv. Tighten the valve further and inflate to recommended air pressure.
