There's nothing that will fill you with dread faster than seeing air bubbles and hearing the hiss of air escaping from your inflatable paddle board while you're out paddling around. Except seeing a great white tailing you; that would be worse. The good news is that inflatable paddleboard repair is so much easier than fixing dings on a hard paddle board. We'll review the repair process here and explain different techniques for locating leaks and applying patches to get rid of those pesky leaks once and for all. Don't fret- small holes are an easy fix. Key Highlights Identifying the Leak: Start by inflating your SUP and applying a soapy water solution to spot persistent air bubbles indicating leaks. Preparing the Surface: Thoroughly dry and clean the leak area with rubbing alcohol before any patch application. Patch Application: Apply PVC glue to both the patch and the SUP, press firmly to adhere without gaps, and allow to cure overnight for best results. Using Self-stick Patches: For quick, minor repairs, self-stick patches offer a convenient, no-mess solution. Valve Maintenance: Tighten the valve with the included wrench to prevent air from escaping. Regular checks ensure the valve remains tight and functional. Post-Repair Testing: After repairs, re-inflate and recheck the area with soapy water to confirm the leak is sealed.
