gday have a problem with my blade vertigo
the tubes that join the baldder to the struts to pump them up keeps popping out every time i drop the kite, resulting in alot of walking and gettign water out of the bladder
ive tried glueing them in and zip tying, nothing seems to hold them in and when they do stay in they tear open the valves instead starting to really get anoyying,
anyone got any ideas?

oh dear another kite designed to leave you to die in the ocean...

Call the importer find out what the latest fix is, GK's had this problem a while back me thinks, dunno of the setup of your kite but sounds like a "bits n pieces" problem.

What do you mean "tear open the valves"?

use smaller diameter tubing (put the ends in boiling water to fit them onto the valves)
