I like it, each time I pull my pumps apart they are full of sand.

There are a lot of smokers at my local spot and for ages now I've been concerned with the corrosive impact that smoke particles have on the bladders of my kite. No one believes me and my pleading to consider the detrimental effect that cigarette smoke has on our beautiful sport goes unheard. But now thankfully there is a solution!!!!

Got it off ebay. Doesn't have any affect on the amount of effort u gotta put into pumping. Will also stop your kite getting filled full of cigarette tar, this guy^^^^

Probably a good idea but I'm usually frothed when im pumping up and my pump gets biffed from where we I'm standing towards the dunes... Looks like its been hotted up though, should put a sick spoiler on it too bro, make it pump up heaps fast!! Oh yiiiii!!!!

I'll do it when I get home and put a photo up. What other mods would you recommend? The pod filter already have me a gain of 72hp

Good idea i say. Saves the leading edge being filled with sand and slowly sandblasting the inside of the bladder.

Sticky tape and a piece of sock was my option to block out stuff and things. Being a brand new kite a couple of seasons ago, should be still sand free in theory.

Bang it on the post beforehand and a couple if free air pumps was mine. Combine that with regular Maintenance and you're set.

Amazes me how many people don't maintain their gear but whinge when it fails
