It is rare that there is a leak at the valve. You can unscrew the valve with the supplied valve wrench (in the repair kit), clean the valve and do the rubber properly. Then tighten the valve again.

This is usually at the level of the valve. The drop stitch threads are gone there in order to place the valve and this creates a “bulge” on the other side of the board. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with your board.

It is best to tighten the clip to tighten the bolt. If this is not possible and the problem continues to occur, the clip (lock pin) must be replaced. If the clip is not in stock, the bottom paddle must be replaced.
