AIR LEAK AROUND THE VALVE ? TIGHTEN THE VALVE ON YOUR PADDLE BOARD

AIR LEAK AROUND THE VALVE ? TIGHTEN THE VALVE ON YOUR PADDLE BOARD - The Wild Tribe

Step 1 - Preparation

- Inflate your paddle board to over 10 PSI. Trying to screw tighter the valve with the board deflated will be impossible

- Grab your valve tool in your orange repair kit.

- Grab water and soap to spray around the valve to monitor when bubbles caused by the leak stop when tightening the valve.

Step 2 - Tight your valve

- Open your valve cap

- Insert your valve tool teeth inside the holes around the valve stem

- Screw clockwise to tighten the valve


Pro Tip: Use your other hand to press and keep your valve tool horizontal to avoid diagonal force that can break the teeth on the tool.

Step 3 - Close the valve cover

Once the valve is tight and air leak stops, close the valve cover.
