Can anyone recommend a good air pressure relief valve
I'm in the process of building a sit-on-top surf kayak. I'm about
halfway done. 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. Has anyone put a better relief value on
the Kaholo? If so, please let me know what you'd recommend.

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.
