Tear-Aid A only good for very small pin-holes or tears. Anything more than 2cm long, and time to patch with ... TearAid and with an inner layer of thin ( 40 micron ) bladder film behind the cut-out. Have done many TearAid repairs this way, some quite large. https://i.imgur.com/LOWNaDG.jpg LE bladde...

Thanks for that reply there @Pug. In my opinion, and from experience with Pansh since 2010, I have to say their kite design skills have improved ten-fold, especially with the Aurora ii kites and the Aeolus race foils. The problems have not been so much from their poor design of the kite itself, but ...

Tear-Aid A is only good for very small pin-holes or small tears. Anything more than 2cm long, and it's time to patch the area with another layer of bladder or a replacement.

I don't understand what you did exactly. Did you source cheap valves and glued them on, or new bladders with valves attached, or?

Well done young man!
What kite and board did you use? Epic I assume

The same ol’ problems keep recurring: ...... Ram airs are INFERIOR on downwind legs Haha.. nah.. you're just not using it properly. In fact, I bet you've never flown a RAM-AIR... well.. [1] they don't exist now (ARC, F-ARC, etc), and [2] The Twin-Skins today are by far more stable, more controllabl...

What's a ram-air kite? I only use Flysurfers and Peter Lynns....
OHHH !!!
You mean the old F-ARCS?
Yeah they're ancient history.
Maybe this Pump dude is confused with the newer Ozone, Flysurfer, and other TWIN-SKIN kites that are like freaken amazingggg!!!!

See you in Altona next month if you are around.

Nah mate. I am in Townsville. Last time I was in Altona was back in 2011. Sorry whom am I speaking with? Irish?

I wonder if his "ram-air" persecution complex is still relevant today? Bloody hell - I can get over 10meter jumps with my Flysurfer, than I could with a similar sized LEI kite that in the end needs way more wind.

Hi, why would that be a problem? Never tried tho, but the guys in Airush Perth suggested that no sewing does the job.

Hi. Are you referring to my post above or the wetsuit?
