    OK, I'm no physics expert, but if I'm not mistaken, letting air out makes sense at first because of heating/expansion from the sun. However... once you tighten the inflatable back down, doesn't it just raise the relative air pressure in the kayak to where it was initially (or even more)?

      Yes, make sure the boat is inflated to get the best measurement for positioning the skeg. It will also help when applying the skeg giving you a more stable base to work with.

      If you don't have an AIRE inflatable boat, the best practice for storing your inflatable boat depends on the specific model and manufacturer's recommendations. If you're unsure, referring to the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific inflatable boat model would be the best course of action.

I would gladly pay $500+ if you can make me one with more luxurious features. You guys seem to be the top dogs that everyone recommends but I can't help but feel like it's underwhelming in its current state. Also add a purple color option in the highest tier model. Id pay big bucks for all of that. And if you added a nylon cover ontop of all of that, id probably give you my life savings. Trust me. Let me know if you're interested in that commission because I'm more than willing to pay.

    • @AireWaterSports
      @AireWaterSports 11 місяців тому

      We suggest applying the patch with the Skeg Fin mounted to allow you to get more pressure on the glued area. What can get damaged during transportation would be the Skeg Fin itself. So by removing it and rolling it within your boat or storing in a pocket you are less likely to damage or break the fin.
