I use Stormsure glue. Have been fixing bladders and re-gluing valves for years with it and never had a problem. This is a very flexible rubbery glue that doesn't react with the bladder.
You can buy one 15g unit or 3 x 5g for the same price (see link below). I usually go for the second option since 1 x 5g is enough to re-glue 10 valves or so.
Once opened, keep the glue in the freezer (not fridge like super glue). This will make the glue last for a long time. It doesn't really freeze the glue but bring it to room temperature for a couple of minutes before using it.

Buy Stormsure in Australia www.kitepower.com.au/products/stormsure-repair-tube?_pos=1&_psq=stormsure&_ss=e&_v=1.0

We are temporarily out of Tear Aid, which we often place on top of a re-glued valve, then they never come off again. Should have stock within the next week or so.

Who's the go-to for kite repairs in Sydney? Kitepower told me to try Barracouta Sails in Caringbah.any other recommendations?

Barra will be the fastest and easiest option, otherwise for the best repairs in Australia contact Adams Kite Repairs in northern NSW, he has a quick pick up and delivery service. thekiteloft.com.au/pages/adams-kite-repair

The bar would be worth no more than $350-400

It's been a while since I offloaded a kite... stopped kite surfing to foil, then late 2024 decided to join a few fun crew from the US and local back into king... Bought a North Carve 9m 2023 model (maybe 2024?) unused, and I had maybe 15 sessions on it (I travel a lot for work)... Kite never crashed... Also have a bar and lines that my brother gave me with maybe 30 to 50 sessions and looks great.What is the range of value on these??? So hard to find second hand kites to compare.I know absolutes are it depends, but just a rough guide (Good deal, good price) thing... been sitting in the garage already for a month and I wanted to sell it (I am in WA, so pricing may be a bit different here?)

Go through Seabreeze classifieds and check prices of similar kites then you'll have a good idea of how to price yours.

Broke a batten in a duotone dice. 35cm x4mm
I saw some fiberglass rod on ebay. Will that do the trick?

Kitepower has the F/G rod in stock, give them a call 0295296894

I am loving the new Zephyr UX 17 m
getting out on marginal winds at my local waves Vic Gunnamatta beach with clean and glassy waves
Its more responsive /drifts and turn so much quicker than older models and I use my normal bar but with line extensions and it's a great combo with my new concept brd 2 kg Vac carbon board 5'3 " with deep channels / planning hull and Quobba's fins

I've found something even better Jeff, the 16m Alpha V3, has just as much bottom end, way better drift and lighter bar pressure and better rate of turn. I can easily ride waves down the line at 10-12 knots on a 5'5" 24ltr surfboard.

Most likely found in the vehicle instruction manual

Range Limitations and Detection RadiusMost keyless entry systems have a detection range between 30 inches to 3 feet around the vehicle.
The key fob must be within this range for the car to unlock or start the engine.
Once the engine is started, the car can continue running even if the key fob leaves the vehicle.
The vehicle's system will trigger a "Key Not Detected" warning if the fob is no longer within range.
Despite the warning, the car will not shut off automatically while driving.If the engine is turned off without the key fob nearby, the car will become inoperable until the fob is returned.
Some manufacturers may include a time-based cutoff or distance limit, but most rely on user awareness rather than automated restrictions.

So obviously a key lock box is within the definitions of nearby.
