hi guys

Had a wicked session in the surf last sunday , but at the end of it unlucky for me i went down hard and so did my kite . Had a good 100m swim to shore and had to watch my kite get a hammering in the surf as it blew in .

The front edge ripped about a metre on the seam and the bladder bubbled out .

Is this stretched and stuffed ??????

Does anybody no a cheap fix ?? can i stitch it ??
i don't think its really worth getting done professionally.
its only a old naish arx , but its all i got .

any advice would be great , thanx.

If you go about doing some cheap nasty fix it job, you will never be able to trust it from blowing out again!
You'll spend your session paranoid and waiting for it to go bang.
Especially if your powered or maxed.
How gooda swimmer are ya.
Put it to rest and get a new one :twisted: :twisted:

If you ain't breaking stuff, you ain't going hard enough!
