I have hearing loss. The incidental grass sliver reminds me to go along with a tissue and see where it is sucked in. And... don't ever buy a kayak with a skeg - it adds to the weight of the kayak, robs the expeditioner of vital storage space - and packing time.
@@gardensofstone2905 what you could do is locate where you think the hole is, let the pressure equalise first time round, then do it again with tape over where you think the hole is and if it holds pressure you have found the hole, or a way of confirming you have fixed a hole that’s obviously damaged by using this technique, still handy if you can’t hear the hissing noise
Great tip Stephen! Hopefully I won’t have any issues with any leaks anytime soon though…
