get out there and try some, have some lessons if you need, no one kite will do all the things you want it to do safely, any that trys to tell you that they will is lying

What are you talking about... he is asking if the bladders on the different model contras are the same, presumably because he has one of each, he is trying to repair one of them


Any i have no idea re the bladders, sorry

What a funny little flipper......... ha ha ha ha

hello manic the bladder is the interior of the kite which holds the air to keep the kite stiff

speaking of bladder repairs has anybody had much success with repairing bladders when the leak is at the inflation point. The inflation point was never properly glues the entire way round and small leaks have developed around the side. have managed to get it sealed but not as well as i would like and its only a matter of time before another one goes. the hard part is getting eough glue into the overlap between the inflation point and the bladder itself.

JP747 an easy way to find the pinholes is once you have th e pladder out pump it up and cover with soapy water, dishwashing liquid seems best so far, any air leaks will will cause the soap to bubble up. far easier than trying to immerse it in water.
