Or , just leave a normal vent plug alone. Don’t touch it unless board is on roof racks , left in sun for abnormal lengthy times , stored in hot car or in an aeroplane.
Popcorn…….


except if the normal vent plug is faulty / letting water in which is what this thread was all about

Hey I’m heading to Mana Island in Fiji in August for a week. Apparently you can get a boat to cloudbreak from there but I wondered if anyone has sailed Mana Island itself? Apparently there a left on the top of the island that doesn’t get as much swell as cloudbreak but is cross off same kind of set up with the Fijian SE trades. Keen to take gear will boat out to cloudy but it’d be fun if you could sail just off the island
cheers

New pyro 93 (to me) was one of Philip Köster customs with more rocker (it’s sick!) got it from him at margs in Feb. always had board upside down and noticed a small pool of water under the Goretex vent screw. So it must be holding water and taking it in. Any advice from other Severne owners with same issue? Repair or replace vent? Can you do it easily or a job for board repairer?
thanks
