I have brought single strut replacements from airborne for an old lift on a couple of occasions. It was about thirty bucks.

Thanks for the tips guys!

I have had it heat sealed twice because the blow out happens right at the end tip of the strut. I have already shortened it by about 4cm from the heatsealing. I always pump it up lightly to around 7psi(meant to be 10psi).

I tried emailing Airborne but no response yet, may give them a call. I think a replacement is the only way.

BTW where can you buy stormsure from? Boating supplies or hardware store?

Thanks again

We stock all Airush Kites bladders and they are available separately or as a complete set.

We currently have over $12,000 worth in stock, this is one of the advantages of buying Airush we stock a complete range of spare parts and do sell strut bladders individually.

Tim,

The Leading edge Bladder for the 12m is $125 and the struts are $35 each or $225 for the whole set.

Bloody expensive I know, but possibly worth the piece of mind on the water.

Uber your bladder should arrive tomorrow.

Thanks,
