Can anyone give me some ideas on getting my 10m Cabrinha leading edge bladder fixed. It seems to have a slow leak. Only have inflated after a 2 hour session on Sunday. HELP !!! (thankyou)

It very much depends where the hole\leak is in the bladder.Where are you located. How old is the kite.

Those of us who aim high should do so fully overpowered!!!!!!!!!

slow leaks are hard to find. you need to remove the bladder which is the usual way,inflate the bladder carefully and imerse in a pool or a bath and look for bubbles. i sometimes inflate the tube while still inside the kite,imerse in a pool and look for bubbles beneath the leading edge cloth making note of the wereabouts of the leak. this will make it easier to narrow down the leak when the tube is removed.

just be sure to check that it is not the valve that is leaking. had it happen before.

check out airbornes, at their carpark sale they had heaps of cheap leftover bladder kits. they might be able to give you a close match to your kite.
