Sunova SUP / Sunova Vent Plug

« on: August 22, 2017, 01:58:32 PM »

Just took delivery of my 2nd Sunova yesterday (8'10 Flow and bag) and had a question on the goretex vent plug.  The area around the vent plug had a few marks, so I decided to pour a little water on the plug to see what happened.  What I saw made me question if the plug is leaking around the threads?

I get that the vent plugs will bubble from the middle when the board is releasing air, but mine seems be leaking air at the side of the plug in addition to the middle of the vent.  Just curious if this is anything to worry about.  Is this air making it's way through the goretex or bypassing it somehow?

I'm heading out in a few days for a weeklong trip to Tofino, BC and was looking forward to testing out the new ride.

Here's a quick video that shows the issue. (not sure how to imbed video) Bottom left of plug, around 7 o'clock mark, you'll see the bubbles.  Any insight would be appreciated.  Thanks guys!
