hey all timely reminder if you have a inflatable that with these 30+ degree days that most of these boards are made with heat glues so chances of explosions due to glue seperating are high, I experienced this on Sunday with my own board so warning any others out there to make sure your inflatable is in the shade and not left in the sun, Mine was being carried from the beach when it exploded so suggest keeping cool with water or in the shade asap.

Was it 45C? How hard was it inflated? Boy, that is pretty crappy if you can't even walk it from the water to your car.

We just experienced the same thing with a ULI board.
Inflated the board to 18psi (max recommended) early in the morning while the day was cool after lunch the board was in the water in the sun when it delaminated round the nose and valve area temp was 34 deg.
