Thanks! Used the trick (with a spray bottle), and found the leak. Easily repaired it with teflon: Naish owners with octopus system, check that first, if you don't want to rinse your entire kite afterwards! (I'm sure dishwasher is not eco - friendly...)
I'm curious how you locate the exact spot of the leak when the bladder is out. I've gone through the same procedure but the leaks don't show up when I remove the bladder. It goes from 8 to 6 psi in two or three hours. That is considered a small leak. I can't pump the bladder hard enough outside of the kite, as it will cause a hernia or burst. What's the trick?
@@GunnarBiniasch oh cool, thanks, from the video you did the soap after knowing which area the hole was in, just didn't know if you had a trick for narrowing it down. i had a slow leak in my leading edge, took forever to find it, will try this next time!
You can do a quick repair on a small leak by putting 40 ml of bicycle tyre sealant in through the valve hole. Then hold the leak lower than the rest of the wing and shake it.
