I'm in the process of building a sit-on-top surf kayak.&nbsp; I'm about  
halfway done.&nbsp; You can see the work-in-progress so far at this link:

Like the Kaholo, which I've built, it could be hollow, but I'm  
worried about air pressure, and the relief valve on the Kaholo,  
using a rubber stopper and a plastic tube, seems to me inadequate.  
I found a lot of relief valves on the Internet, and I'm not at all  
sure which would be best.&nbsp; Has anyone put a better relief value on  
the Kaholo? If so, please let me know what you'd recommend.

&nbsp;&nbsp; I used a Goretex pressure relief valve, one at the bow and one at the stern. Has worked well since 2011. Don't remember the specific brand, but this is basically the same thing.
