I repaired an inflatable with some vinyl glue from the hardware store. I used loctite brand. I watched a lot of videos on repairing inflatable SUPs. They're more common and the repair techniques correlate. There were some good repair kits on Amazon. I repaired mine and left it in a pool for a couple of days just as a test. I was pretty tentative initially and stayed close to shore. It worked fine and I had no issues.

what glue is recommended for Inflatable board repairs
How old is the board? The adhesive used to build the board deteriorates with age, the joining seams just start to pull apart, fix one and another will blow out. So unless you have damaged and inflatable board there is not much point repairing blown out seams.
thanks i bought it off WA surf as a demo only used a couple of times. I got to use it for 3 weeks and then the seam opened up. I guess its all over then like you said another seam will go after i fix this one

Heat shortens the life of inflatable boards, so if it had been left out in the sun its life can be reduced. 4-5 years is a good life expectancy but foilers in cool countries can probably get more.
