Huge Thanks to the kind gentleman on the foil board at 3 rd who came to drag me in, after I had My safety line broke off my harness bar and the kite flew off and got ripped at the rocks by the windsurfers launch.

Gear faliure leads to some spectacular people coming for help.
Thanks again.

Hey Ino, here's what the 11 m Fuel looks like now. I will add a fifth line so I don't have to remove the ones on my bar.

I redid the bladder patch you made, the patch popped open after putting 7 psi on the kite. I will show you how I stitch together bladders next time you visit.

I found two more long micro-tears on the canopy, rocks at 3rd are not very forgiving.

I have not flown newer fuels for a long time, still riding my 2006 ones, can't wait to try this one out. Nothing but love on the Fuels.
