There is no simple solution....your triple by pass surgery is the only solution i found.

The pump I use has a deflate "setting" if you change the hose to the other side. If yours does too you could try pumping the air out?

I have a best yarga with battens in it front and rear. i found the same problem when i flew it the first time. Found the best way was to roll each side to the center strut lining up the trailing edge not the leading edge.
This will keep the battens in line so you can then fold it.
hope this helps with the EVO.

Hey I appreciate your input guys... I will give it a go and update... Yes Battens do SUCK if they interfere with rolling and packing!!!

be carefull when you roll it up or you might hurt your back. then you'd have to go see a doctor or a physio. just dont go see a chiro. they're a bunch of hacks

flat water - will try, but I think this is what i did last time and no go.

fingerbang - thanks for the great wit.

dave - not sure why you are talking about cabrihnas...

Take out the battens like you do with a sail on a small boat. You shouldn't really leave battens in anyway as the stretch the material. You just have to be careful that you don't lose them.

open the platic bag ,pull out the manual and look at the pretty pic on hovv to fold

ask a Japanese backpacker who is onto origami

heh done that... it says to open dump valve and roll from one tip to the other, then fold in two... ahhh duh, it got battens north!

Usually it's the cabrina guys who complain about the small bag size,few guys I know, they go to woolies and buy one of those cheap zip up strippy bags and use the cabrina bags for the kids school bags!!.this also deters the car theifs looking to break into your car and steal you kite in it's bag with writing all over it ,instead they think it's a bag of your dirty laundry...


I got 2008 rhino's , 2 easy ways to role em up ,1st as per book role from one wing tip to the other finishing at the end with the dump valve ,find the middle of the kite then fold in half ,,,2 nd way , the way i do it , role from either end then fold in half.before you say that the evo is harder to fold up ,check out the lenght of the wing tip batterns and the amount of cam batterns in an 08 rhino.
I'f this is all too hard pull the batterns out ,,might take you an extra 45 seconds to set up.
