<br/>IMO you don't need a vent because 99% of us leave them done up tight for 100% of the time without a problem.</div>

<p>I have a gortex vent in one of my SUP's. It seems very fragile, but it's recessed in the deck so that there's less chance of damaging it. I think I prefer the manual vent plug. I do change my O-rings every year.</p>

<p>vent plugs, my Flikka had the option of screw or goretex, goretex for me, its new bit has been fine in heat and elevation changes from DENVER, across the Atlantic to the east coast.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I remove my standard plugs when i travel, temps likely to be hi and winter storage. When in OBX for a month I leave in, better safe than a costly repair cause it wasnt removed.</p>

<p>Hey, Randy. Ya, we still have ice. Sunday evening, the south wind blew it out of West Bay and it looked fine, but by the next morning the north wind had blown it all back in, at least 3/4 ice covered.</p>
