- Retrieve your SUP repair kit from your bag and locate the valve tool.
- Remove the valve dust cap and loosen the valve using the valve tool.
- Fully unscrew and remove the valve.
- Check the O ring is in place and that the spring on the pin is functioning.
- Check the valve thread for any other obstructions.
