I started a thread about rpm's being weak as piss a while ago, everybody said its coz i crash too much (which i do) but a dry kite exploding in mid air on its second or third session ever isn't normal.
I gave up on SS after too frequent blowouts and canopy tears left me on the sand more than in the water.
My new kites cop a worse caning than those SS kites and no problems bar one tear in an F-one that is a bit old now and the usual pinhole\shell gash senario's.
SS leading edge's, canopies, bladders, line stitching all weak as piss, not to mention shrinking p-lines.
It's a pity they fly so good or I wouldn't be looking at getting another one lol
