The kite bladder patch from Boardworx offers a reliable solution for fixing damaged kitesurfing bladders. This patch is designed for airtight bladder repairs that hold pressure firmly. It is an essential item in every rider’s repair kit.
Bladder damage often occurs during rigging, beach launches, rough landings, and travel. Even tiny nicks can cause slow leaks that spoil your session. This kite repair bladder patch lets you repair punctures quickly and effectively.
This bladder repair patch uses sturdy, flexible material that bonds well with standard bladder plastics. The patch material flexes as the bladder inflates and contracts. This flexibility helps maintain performance and avoids recurring leaks.
At 20x20cm, the patch size covers most tear sizes and abrasion marks. This generous size allows larger damage areas to be covered without requiring multiple patches. This means fewer tools and less downtime during repair.
Applying the kite bladder patch is simple when done in a clean environment. For best results, clean the surface thoroughly and remove sand, salt, and moisture. This ensures the adhesive bonds fully to the bladder material.
Make sure you apply the bladder repair patch on a fully deflated bladder. Submerge the bladder in water to pinpoint damage and watch for bubbles. Mark the hole or tear with a marker to make repair easier.
Avoid patch application at the beach or in windy, sandy conditions. Wind and sand contaminate surfaces and reduce adhesive strength. Apply the patch in a clean, dry area for optimal results.
