If you have not been crashing the kite on the beach or self launching or landing and you get a leak on that kite, always look at the valves. Don't keep the kite in a hot car. Use a spray bottle with some dishwashing detergent and spray around the valves if you suspect a leak, the tiniest leak will blow bubbles though the dacron.
