Last Friday I took my Xb0w 2 12m out, within about 5 min I ripped from LE to Te on the shoulder of the kite - missed a whole weekend of kiting, got it repaired by thursday.
Took my nicely repaired kite to play in the river today and about 1hr later after a failed jump my depower adjustment strap snapped (the wide black one that goes through the buckle underneath the neoprene sock ) got fully powered up which took me a good long time to walk back to the spot where I could land it.
Now I am going to Kitestock next weekend and I am cr*pping myself

because looks like my kite is near its life span and I dont want to spend my whole weekend watching other people kite

.
Looks like my kite has one foot in the grave
