If the holes you are speaking of are on the end of the board, mine have those, but are plugged with what appears to be rubber plugs.

There are hollows/holes but big enough to dry completely. However they also don't float, which was a bummer for me.

No it has little bumps not holes, I bought a mat that is used for drying glasses for under there and it fits perfect. Of course you have to let the mat air

No hole at the top. It didn't seem to be a problem though. The steam just came out around the edges, I guess. I should note that ours did develop a crack at the bottom after about a year of use. We think the temperature got too high, although we always used a diffuser. If you get it, just be careful to keep the temp. on a low setting.

No air gets in at all. It is water coming out, not being pulled in. so it's impossible to get air.

We have a similar plastic one and I just used a 1/16 drill bit to add several tiny holes around the bottom so that water can slowly seep out instead of being a drowning hazard. The sand does not really fall out of them (so use either a 1/16 or a 1/32 drill bit) and the water just drips slowly out

The shelves are "mesh-like" with a solid border approx 1 1/2 in. wide, so water will run through. However, the holes are so small that if you do spill water, you do have a little time to clean up before it all hits the shelf below.

Mine doesn't but if it's not deep through the holes it may not matter? Might just ask for a replacement from Amazon Customer Service to be safe, don't want any other particles coming off of it...

Dont make any holes. If you pour water into the nozzle, you will see it come out two small holes on the sides. This is sufficient for the watering.

I believe it's a 5/8 or 3/4 hole that it needs. Maybe 1" at most. Been a while. But it will not sit tight against the base and be waterproof. You would need to silicone it .Apply a bead to around hole push it in tight and wipe off excess.

It doesn't need air-holes because the air comes in around the door. I put them out before bed and check them in the morning... they are a little steamy from them being in there breathing, but they have plenty of air for the short time you have them in there... I have never had one seem off-put by an air issue... usually they're just curious as to where I am taking them! LOL! :D

Same thing happened to mine . . . took it apart and let it air out -- no success! I think there's a flaw in the design because it should be waterproof or not able to get water in it all . . . this thing is terrible!

Don't make your own hole! There is a hole, just look closer for it. If you can't find it, yours might be defective.

The 2 openings are drain holes and to best of my knowledge they don't let water in. But this is a kids kayak and wet is part of the game. A bathing suit is the right attire. We got one last year for our 7 year old grandson. He loves it, can paddle it himself and even our 3 yo granddaughter could paddle it. The kids had hours of wet fun with it/ I highly recommend. Now that grandson is 9 he is ready for something a little bigger to go on kayak outings with us but it is still the go to toy for playing at waters edge.

Mine does not have the holes. Sorry you have that. I would go ahead and return the second and try one more time. Worth it! I just love mine.

There are holes in bottom of the floor for water to get out. And there are grooves that are part of the fake flooring that channel water toward the holes. I haven't tested it yet though.

I Have the same problem with my cover> It lets water leak in and then holds the water. I have to unzippe it to get the water out. Maybe thay put the waterproof side on the inside I'm not too happy about my canoe cover.
