Is there any reason that the “snorkel” style Huki breather tube can’t be replaced with some other less obtrusive type of pressure relief valve? The issue of where to put the new one and how to patch the hole aside, wouldn’t an Epic style breather, or even a SUP GoreTex style one work as well? Has anyone done this? I really like everything about the Huki, except the breather which I really don’t like.

Just put a pice of tape over the hole and put a small slice in it, replace as needed.

Tempting to use some Gorilla tape. What would happen if I cut that snorkel off shorter?

It's only there to equalize pressure in the hull and empty and accumulated water. If you are in the states "pipe wrap" tape works much better than gorilla or duct tape as it doesn't leave any residual mastic behind, even a year later. If your somewhere else pipe wrap is like very thick electricical tape. I did this on an old Stellar SR I had that lost the hole cover. Works like a charm and was truer than the original. Just cover and put in a little slice with a razor or knife.

I know what’s it’s for, but it’s so cave man. Might try the pvc tape.
