What should I do if air is leaking out from the seam of my Maddle?

If you suspect there is air leaking from the seams of your Maddle, inflate your board to 15 PSI and apply soapy water to the seams. If bubbles are forming, this means there is a leak.

Rest assured, it can be fixed in a few steps! 

1. Locate the flap of PVC from the seam that is not glued properly and reach for the glue in your repair kit. 
2. Apply an even and thin layer of glue inside of the flap. Be mindful to not put too much, as it will leak around the patch and it is hard to clean up.
3. Apply a lot of pressure evenly on the problematic seam, by using a flat and heavy item, or by using clamps.
4. Leave it in place for 24 hours. Remove clamps / heavy items.
5. Testing : To make sure the seam holds up for your future Maddle adventures, inflate the board to the recommended 15 PSI. Cover the seam with soapy water.
