Would you feel safe on a kite that won't reinflate on a 25 mile downwinder ALONE in VERY choppy water and high winds? I think not. If you want the whole story, I will be glad to fill you in. If you PM me I will let you know ALL of the story.
i've flown a kite with a rip in the center strut before, you just don't pump it up very hard, only enough to keep shape, but still soft. flys fine

from what i hear it was the center strut that had the rip right?
