I was out today and my kites strut blew out through the material, not the seam.
The kite is only 12 months old and a reputable brand.
Will they just repair it or replace the kite under warranty???
Red thumbs all over a serious question.
Must suck when u spend all your time trolling and being abrasive, and then when u have a serious question people just discount your post altogether.
Shame.
I was unhooked and went for a floater but was pulled of the back of the wave. Kite crashed leading edge down and tumbled by waves. Was only 4 foot but man, give me a break...
Thats call wear and TEAR bro. You could do that to a brand new kite. No warrantee.
Thats the dice you roll playing in the waves.
No way. Has to be a manufacturing defect.
The material has gone soft and lost its crispness.
All after only 1 year...
WTF???
^^^^ yeah what kite and wheres the pics ??
Or is this just another kiteboard killed by poley post 
Check your lines, there probably also worn and should be replaced too. Hope this wasn't a serious question!
Another thing I have found.
I think my surfboard that I kite on may have a defective fin plug. It pulled out from beneath the board today and I didn't even hit the sand???
I reckon it could be a poor glass/fin install job.
Should I ring the shaper on monday???
Mate, I hope you are trolling and looking for a giggle but....
12 months old and rolled by a wave and that's warranty? Give me a break. If it was a manufacturer's defect it would have gone well before now. Who is to say that while self launching you caught a shell or rock, caught the zip in the kite bag while packing up, slammed it hard into the water or beach, clipped a tree, rolled it up over some sharp crap while packing or whatever and a slight tear or nick occurs, you dump a tonne of water on it and after 12 of months of bliss it finally gives way and after it's now the manufacturer's fault? Damn , I'm happy if I get 12 months out of a kite.
I wish I wouldn't post when I drink a few but fair dinkum I hear this story all the time, doesn't anyone take responsibility for their own actions anymore, always someone else's fault.
Flame on........
