Valve Tightening

Close-up of an inflatable valve with warning text on a white surface.

Step 1

  •  Deflate the board and remove the valve cover cap.  

.

Hand holding a black plastic tool against a blue textured background.

Step 2

  •  Open your orange patch kit and take out the valve wrench. 

Step 3

  • Insert the valve wrench into the valve assembly and tighten by turning clockwise.


  • Warning: Do not over-tighten! 
  • Warning: Do this while board is deflated! If you turn the wrong way, the valve assembly will shoot out of the board and cause injury.

Step 4

  • Replace the valve cap and re-inflate your board. Check for hissing. 
  • (Note: Never use a screwdriver to tighten the actual valve at the center of the valve assembly)
