Are there any kites that don't have one-pump any more? I hate one-pump, it is just about a deal-breaker for me.

Why would you hate pumping one time instead of several?

Airush DNA, Airush One - all minus one pump.
But the whole airush one pump system is very simple, hard to see why you would have a problem, and you can even buy a kit to fix them (everything you need) but I have never sold any...

Wainman makes great kites, and thankfully they don't have one pump. i think it takes me 1 extra minute to pump up then someone with one pump. another brand i own that has one pump recently got some holes in the LE bladder (my fault), repairing it was a nightmare and i couldn't get the thing back together as it was originally, and probably never will. this is all i can say to companies that make them:
