U make it look so easy.. no matter how many times i try to get the air bubbles out i cant get them all out even pulling on it and destroying the bladder…
I don’t believe ball valves are available anymore. So flappers are the only way to go. In the end. A new bladder with preinstalled valves are the best form of repair
It is defiantly not a permanent solution but maybe could get you out and on the water in several minutes. A better solution is to completely replace the entire bladder.

This certainly is not an easy job. Sometime we suggest buying two valves or practicing with some old stickers. Roll them on, dont place them.
What do you prefer, ball valves or flapper valves? My kite originally had a ball valve, now I need to decide what to buy.

In my experience of repairing / replacing over hundreds of valves those stick-on valves just make things worse and they don't last in the Florida heat

any kind of glue could be use to reeglue the old valves?
The original valves are electric welded, there are some glues out there but that process doesn't have a high success rate.
Do you have a link where we can purchase those specific valves?
They are going up on the website this week
How you removed the clips?
ericmnr just use a flat head screw driver,
