OK, I finally figured it out.  The outer flange is threaded to the inner portion of the valve.  There are some ridges that a spanner can engage.  I just used a 90 degree tip needle nose pliers to engage the ridges and was able to unthread the flange.  Hopefully this will help someone else.

Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / Need help removing inflate valve from F-One Swing

I need to remove the bladder from my F-One Swing to make some repairs.  I am a bit puzzled as to how to release the inflate valve from the leading edge.  I have reached in the access zipper and released the Velcro on the bladder from around the inside of the leading edge around the valve.  The flange on the outside of the valve seems to large to just be pushed through the opening in the leading edge like most inflate valves I have dealt with.  Anyone know the trick to taking one of these out.
Thanks

Howdy from Texas. This is my first post on the forum after trying to get on for a while.  I will try to contribute by helping to answer whether Santa is a winger.  Well recent a recent sighting in Texas seems to indicate that Olde St. Nick has made the switch to wing power this year. 
Merry Christmas Y'all
