I fold mine in half so each fold from the wingtips expels the air and the leading edge is folded upon itself. No issues of air filling the other side this way and chasing your tail.

All of our instructors do that method. Everyone loves tacos

I've read that folding the leading edge straight instead of trailing edge straight avoids bladder twists and possible punctures too. You folded this trailing edge straight. Is that not the case?

[@ewatersports]

We are not sure exactly what you are suggesting. Although this is not exactly the “factory” fold. The way to do that is not practical in real world.
We assure that the way that we have taught in this video is a fail safe method.
Of course we can not be held responsible for manufacturing defect and issues caused by the brands way of construction.

@@ewatersports Thanks. Because the leading edge is on a curve you can choose to roll that up straight, or leave the trailing edge straight. I read or saw somewhere that rolling the trailing edge straight means that you introduce a twist in the leading edge which can cause to bladder wear and punctures.
