SOLUTION
The spring valve uses a plunger system. The only time the plunger should be in the open position
is when you are deflating. Make sure that the plunger is closed to inflate. Push the plunger in and
rotate counter clockwise.
Be sure that the right pump is being used. You need a foot pump or a double action hand pump. A
kayak but one of the other pumps is needed to top it off.
Make sure that the plunger is in the closed position. It should only be open when deflating. If it is
open, the only seal is the black rubber gasket inside the caps. Even then, a little air may still leak
If you have checked all the previous possible reasons for the kayak losing air, then there may be a
pinhole or a puncture somewhere on the tube. Pull tube from outer covers. Inflate. If you cannot
see or hear where a leak may be, take a clean rag with soapy water and begin rubbing the tube. If
a hole is present, bubbles will continuously form. Repair using repair kit. If it is a very small pinhole,
a drop of the glue may be sufficient.
The tube just needs to be adjusted. When kayak is fully deflated try adjusting the position of the
tube inside of the outer shell. Then re-inflate.
original shape. Even if it slightly bent, it will not affect the kayaks performance.
If two of the ridges in the floor have formed one large one, the I-beam has come apart. This is
warnings very seriously.
There will almost always be a little water in the kayak. One reason is the water drips off of the
paddle and into the kayak. Another is some will puddle up on the deck and leak through the zipper.
Make sure that the deck lifts are fully inflated so a puddle does not form. You can also get a spray
skirt from our accessories list from a dealer. This will help keep the inside of the kayak dry as well
as you.
A kayak will always head in the direction of your last stroke. The longer the kayak, the less this is
usually noticed. If it is drifting in the opposite direction, the floor may not be aligned. Make sure that
the floor is properly centred inside the kayak cover. If the floor is off-centre it will cause unevenness
in the kayak.
