06-08 model kite.
Had to reglue the valves. Had the entire leading edge bladder out. Have had it back in numerous times.
Problem is when the kite is pumped up; the bladder starts to rotate and sucks in the valves second to last on the outboard.
What is the technique to get it to not roll?

Re: SS Rev twisted bladder
Use tape to attach a piece of cardboard to the bladder tip before pulling it in. It will prevent bladder twists.

Cheers for that tip, have talcum powdered my bladders to sh#t without preventing twists.

Re: SS Rev twisted bladder
Made a little cardboard sled and it worked perfect first try. Thanks for the tip!
