Hello DIYers.
Annoyingly, I have a flysurfer wing that requires a 'special key' to remove the valve which allows me to remove the bladder and patch it.
Other than ordering one direct from FS, any ideas on what else could work?

ask your public library if they have a 3d printer (or maybe you have a friend with a printer)and print up this

I've printed a bunch of random stuff at the public library here
Short of getting one, a piece of pvc plumbing tube and a hack saw, a pencil would help too if DIY is your thing. It's a bit like those keys to open the back of your watch, annoying when you dont have one or if you want to open your old nintendo game cart!
I think Naish and F-One wings use same type of valve as do SUPs so maybe appeal to locals to borrow one. If hole is same side of valve as zipper you can pull just that part out and fix.
