I inflate the wing 75% then put the boom on. This solved my issues with the bladder not seating. With practice, I can now judge how much to inflate, exactly, before putting the boom on.
Nice tip! We'll give that a shot. After pumping up and getting it all located the first time it's been pretty good but definitely something to keep an eye on.
Thank you very much for this video...today I received my 7m Duotone Echo and I was disappointed when I inflated and the dump valve moved moved to another position inside the wing...I’ve massaged a little bit and forced the dump valve to stay in position as I inflated the wing. I think this issue has been resolved...I was almost going to return the wing to the surf shop, and after seem you video I decided to try some more pump and see what happens...let’s see 😃
Glad it helped! It's definitely something you want to keep an eye out for on a big LE like this, but once you've got it in the right spot and used it a few times it should settle into place. Had this out out probably 10 or 15 times since and the bladder has been all good. Happy foiling!
@@LixisArgentina On the 7m with 10 knots on the bottom end consistently, yeah you can ride with it. Takes a bit of practice though, you want more wind to learn and get the hang of it first. 10-15 etc. is pretty doable.

Is that a 6 or a 5?
They said it is a 7 m...
the bigger of the family I think
This is the 7m, big one! We do a lot of light wind riding so wanted something to get up and go early. Plenty of power!
Would it work around 10 knots?
