Go to your nearest kite shop they have bladder repair kits and they should be able to order bladders for your kite.

If you can't get a bladder for your kite.. You can just get a bladder for a strut of any kite and it doesn't necessarily have to be the exact same size - bigger is obviously better than smaller

Taking out and putting in bladders is a pain in the ass though particularly with one pump systs etc.... And when you do it on the beach when everyone else is riding 10min feels like an hour

It not the best way to do it but it will get you back on the water and should have no ill effect on the kites performance

But the proble with the Evo the center strut bladder is is pritty long an old bladder from my old 12 meter isn't long enough. I'm just getting pissed off especially seing I I will need in a couple off weeks. How much for the rev 2???????

get your gear fixed man, there are very limited options for repair once you are up here.

otherwise bring a camera so you can take pics of everyone else having a blast :)

Jay P is right

Its an awesome adventure kite cruise, I did it last year
Pimp yourself out and get it fixed properly or get another kite, some days youll be just hangin on to it

Be sure to buy a few big bags of lollies for the kids or even take a soccer ball for them on the smaller Islands... youll understand when ya get there
