: CLC has a recommended part on their SUP page for venting the
: interior to avoid damaging decompression when you go from a hot
: car to cold water. The design lets air in and out but not water.

: I've never seen one of these before, is it needed?

Any hollow, air-filled structure needs venting if you're going to prevent pressure differentials caused by changes in temperature. That's why people vent the bulkheads in their kayaks. A paddleboard would be no different.
