Hey just picked up a used 2017 pivot in very good to excellent condition. I have noticed the centre strut has a slight bend to it however and is not straight when pumped up.
Once on the water it seems to be straight when the canopy is full.
Is this normal for a Naish kite? Have tried to straighten the strut bladder out but doesn’t want to straighten out.
Perhaps the canopy is stretched?

Bend as in sideways or bend as in following the canopy shape?CanadianGringo wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 3:37 pmHey just picked up a used 2017 pivot in very good to excellent condition. I have noticed the centre strut has a slight bend to it however and is not straight when pumped up.
