Before you create a complaint case due to the deck pad...

It is a completely normal phenomenon that there are bubbles under the deckpad.

When the deck pad is adhered to the board surface at the factory, air is sometimes trapped under the deck pad. When the SUP is used in the sun, the trapped air heats up, which therefore expands and presents itself as bubbles under the deck pad. If this happens, you can remedy the problem by poking a small hole in the deck pad with a fine needle to release the trapped air. The adhesive on the underside of the deck pad is still extremely sticky, and sticks again. Often, the bubbles disappear completely without you having to do anything, after a few trips on the water.
