Ive developed a cluster of leaks in the bladder around the deflate valve.
North rebel 2018.
Last use no problems. kite was a little damp and dirty when folded up.
when reinflated it showed obvious leak straight away.
bladder shows multiple 'wear marks although no scratches on the adjacent kite.
Some Wear marks associated with fold marks on bladder
