Hi I have just put a hole in one of the strut bladders in my naish boxer 6 meter second strut bladder. It's about the size of a 20cent piece.
I live in Wollongong, where is the best place to get a new bladder?
I was thinking of repairing it, but it's right next to the seam and don't have much experience with these repairs.
I think my closest shop is kitepower in Brighton but not sure. What would one of these bladders cost? I would prefer the new bladder option if they are readily avail.
Cheers

Hey Kitch,
Naish strut bladders for pre 08 kites are sold in sets @ $195 . If you don't want a full set you are better off going for a repair or getting a U-Stik bladder.

very easy to repair, get some pool glue, i use stormshore, it sets to form its own patch and is flexible. (get it from clarke rubber)
just take the bladder out, put some duct tape on the inside of the bladder to hold it together and put a coat of stormsure on the outside of the bladder.
may not be the prettiest, but who cares, its on the inside
thanks guys. ill try the pool glue today. if that dont work out ill source a new bladder.
Cheers guys
Kitepower don't stock Naish. try Windsurf n Snow in collaroy. They should be able to post you the bladder.
