Replacing main bladder on "one pump"....HELP

OK, so I've replaced the bladder of my main tube and finally got it in with no twists...after 4 attempts, and now when I pump it up, the valves to the struts pull inside the main tube as I inflate it.

Bladder replacement question

Never took notice when I removed the bladder, so......when I fold back the velcro flap on the tips of the leading edge, do I want any bladder material inside this folded over sleeve?

Bar Size for 16m boxer

I just met a nebie on the beach with a used 16m Naish Boxer, and the bar looked a bit small. I'm not familiar with this brand of kite, but the bar said "18" on it, and I assume that is an 18 inch bar. Does anyone know what the correct size would be for this kite. He also showed up ready to fly with ...

At least with windsurfing you can leave your gear in the box of your truck and not have to worry about it getting stolen.
