Simply separate the adapters from both ends of the broken hose then replace the hose with anything which is a good interference fit. Garden hose, anything. Use zip ties to stop the adapters moving. If you are like me and stuff the hose inside the kite bag, then be sure to wrap over the zip tie with...

That looks like a much more robust and reliable solution! I messed around using pins and parell beads. In the end I went with Infexion & have loved it - I can now use the whole bar throw. Which you will get with yours as well. I have a small Antal ring inside the 2 fender washers to keep it running ...

Yeah too bad you can’t rent one for a bit.

creating a new specific "1 strut hydrofoil topic" Ok, I see huge difference in kites, according to riding style. Racing is different universe for sure. Here we talk on surfing-like freeride. Other thing that we must keep in mind - is conditions. Kiting in sea or ocean is so much differs from lake ki...

Thanks - I will try your rainypass recommendation first - since they hopefully can put in the gore-tex booties! Not a huge shipping difference from Fl to West coast or NE.
