You can just imagine it... you've spent the last 10 minutes pumping hard to get your board up to the highest recommended psi pressure, and you then undo your hose attachment and pissssssssssss.... all that hard work blows back in your face! The noise of compressed air flying out of a recently inflated SUP is something we have all heard. And it makes you want to cry! All just because you forgot to put the boards valve in the inflation setting (push pin locked up) after you deflated it last week.

If you are using a Red Paddle Co pump or have a pump hose with the middle plastic strip removed, in this video we go over a great simple way to check if you have put the valve in the inflation position, before disconnecting the hose. It won't stop the air from coming out but it will give you a heads up that when you undo your hose you will have to act fast to get the valve closed off as quickly as possible.
