I do like the old seariders. Almost fancy getting one again just for messing about.

Hi mate,

Anytime you are out in the Solent area let me know and I'll join you.

I mean anytime just E mail me or leave a message on these message pages.

I work shifts 4 on 4 off so get quite a bit of time to myself and fancy some company. Safety in numbers and all that.

Told you that RIB Revive was good!

Regarding the valve when you say that you can't pump the section up do you mean:
1. That you can't get any air to go in or
2. Air goes in but comes out?

If 1 it might be that the rubber diaphragm has stuck on its seat and needs, carefully, pushing inwards with a blunt instrument.

If 2 could be a dodgy valve.

Hope this helps

Yes mate no1. cant get any air in

I'll give it a go with something blunt - cheers

Isn't that the type of valve you have to unscrew to release?

[daithi]

Ollyit, The valve has a little spring loaded mech which can be turned 90 degrees. Turn it one way and the spring engages keeping the valve shut and the air in. Turn it the other way and the spring is kept open and that section of the tube can be deflated quickly. It may just be that your valve is in the open position.
