In the last couple of months I have had to apply numerous patches to two of my kites due to a bit of sand or grit getting into the main bladder. While it only takes about an hour to make repair such leaks, it is disheartening to have to remove the bladder, find the miniscule holes and repair them (and hope you have found them all!) I thought it might be useful to share what I have learned about kite bladder repair in Alaska:
Remove your bladder on a clean surface (spruce needles only add to the problem)
Kiters in Haines have been using the Kite Alerts for several years now with great success. Add your name to your region and get notified when your buddies are going kiting!
