: A small leak is fine. why do you ned them to be totally air tight.

I hate my foat bag that has a small leak. I leave the bags in the kayak all the time. The leaky one has to be refilled before travel so it won't fly out. Of corse the only way to inflate them is to stick your head into the boat where the fill nozzel is. Not my favorite thing to do. I'm glad I only have one bag that leaks.
I have seen my leaky bag completly deflate. Small holes make for empty bags. Be careful they don't leak to fast.
