You're wrong.Kitesurf Vacation wrote:...They should do it as in the beginning of kitesurfing, the struts separated from the leading edge. Is not a big deal to pump one strut by one. Keep the kites simple!!
Why they still do it like that? marketing campains? Any other reason apart from pumping it 'faster'?

That is an absurd idea. You want manufacturers to run parallel assembly lines, develop and test parallel models, and importers, distributors and retailers to manage multiple lines of stock just because you had a little bad luck?TheJoe wrote:I'm in the camp of no one pumps.

Agreed. Started kiting in 2001 and my kites get a lot of use. Pumping struts suck. Have owned almost every brand. Never a problem with a one pump system on any kite or changing a LE or strut bladder.OzBungy wrote:That is an absurd idea.

I have over 100 hours each on my current 3 kites and about 800 hours on one pump LEI. The oldest single kite had 200+ hours. No punctures. No failures. No problems.
I started kiting in 1999. I have pumped struts. Pumping struts sucks.
