Thats exciting news since we have a local pro rider that rides for flexifoil it will be nice to have a local shop that carries the brand as well.
My biggest hang-up with the Flexi kites I own are the leaky valves. Once I replaced my valves I couldn't be happier, they make a great product.
The leaky valve issue has been addressed with the Ion 4's but for those who have older Ions I have two theories on the issue.
1) The glue just sucks that holds them on. Once they start to leak they literally almost fall off the kite.
2) Anytime you pull open a valve from the male side, unless you hold down the female part of the valve you are putting an extreme amount of pressure on the female part of the valve. These valves are glued from the inside of the bladder and when you pull it open you are literally pulling the female part of the valve out of the kite.
I know this, because I have replaced about 5 or 6 valves on 2 kites.
