Hi only been kiting for about 2 months i have a north toro 10m i have used it 3 to 4 times & on tuesday i was skying the kite up &down when i cliped the edge of kite on the water & then the leading edge hit the water &deflated the leading edge. then proceed to rip the seam in 2 places right to the back of tail.Just wondering if any one else had this issue or are they faulty.

Bad luck mate

I have the same kite - 04 model, whats years yours?

Ive just started kiting so it hasn't taken much of a thrashing yet
hope the same thing doesnt happen to me...

it's a good idea... if you get repaired to get it stitched hand style when it's repaired as the stitch is much stronger than the factory style on all the kites i have seen
