6.1 Kayak Losing Air

• Kontrollventiler: Ensure all inflation valves are securely closed and properly seated. A loose valve cap can cause slow air loss.
• Undersøg for punkteringer: Inflate the kayak and listen for hissing sounds. You can also apply soapy water to the surface; bubbles will indicate a leak. Use the included repair patch kit for small punctures.
• Temperaturændringer: Air pressure can decrease in cooler temperatures. If the kayak was inflated in warm conditions and then moved to cooler water, it might appear to lose air. Re-inflate slightly if necessary.

6.2 Difficulty Tracking Straight

• Even Inflation: Make sure all air chambers are evenly and adequately inflated. Uneven inflation can affect the kayak's balance and tracking.

6.3 Seats Not Staying in Place
