Gore Retrofit Vent Plug

The Gore Retrofit Vent Plug is a self-venting vent designed for EPS foam and hollow-core composite boards, including foil boards, paddle boards (SUPs), and EPS surfboards.

Featuring a genuine Gore-Tex® membrane, the vent automatically allows the board to "breathe" as internal air expands with heat, eliminating the need to manually open and close the vent while preventing water from entering.

Unlike a glass-in vent, the Retrofit Vent is designed for installation into finished boards, making it an excellent choice for repairs, or adding a vent to an existing EPS or hollow-core board.
