: 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.

You might consider adding some additional tubing to that fill nozzle so you can breathe into it, or use a foot pump, from a better location.
