That kite had ALL new bladders that I installed about a week before.
Hence, the sheer frustration and the decision the kite was worthless when half of them went flat.
I was just dead sick of it at that point.
It's not like I didn't put a bare minimum of 8 hours putting new bladders in that thing (at least 3 times over the last 3 years).
Changing them all out just to have 3 go totally flat was the last straw.
I don't cut kites for absolutely no reason. Heck, I still have some kites from 2002 and a 13m Fuel from 05.
Maybe I should have just sold that thing for 20 bucks. But I was beyond pissed at that point and whoever I sold it to would have just bugged me complaining about it. It wasn't worth it to keep it.
