Naish makes great kites...always has. Yet there are some pros & cons to the octopus system.
All the cons with the system arise IF you have do any repairs to bladders or valves.
Again, Naish makes a quality product so you'll most likely not have any bladder or valve issues unless you damage your kite.
To cut to the chase...I just want to pass on a "hack" for separating the octopus connections to each strut.
It can be quite hard to separate the male & female valves with your fingers...not much wiggle room and a very tight valve connections.
So, I bought off Amazon a pair of Hose Separator Pliers for under $10 US.
Obviously use these with care.
