What is a bladder?
The bladder is the internal inflatable part of your wing. Like a bicycle inner tube, this bladder is independent of the outer skin of your wing. This part can be changed or repaired very easily.
What construction?
Our bladders are made of thick 80 micron TPU for the best strength/lightweight balance.
The bladders and all accessories are heat-sealed to withstand significant pressure.
How to prevent hernias from forming?
Maintaining your wing and preventing bladderOur tips to help prevent this risk as much as possible:
hernias:
Bladder hernias are almost unheard of in kitesurfing but can become a real issue in wing foiling. This is mainly due to the larger diameter and heavier weight of the bladders used in wings. These bladders can shift inside their sleeves during deflation and folding. If the wing is still wet when folded, the bladder may stick to the inner walls of the wing and end up in a poor position. At the next inflation, it may not return to its correct placement, potentially causing a hernia and eventually leading to bladder failure.
Our tips to help prevent this risk as much as possible:
- Dry your wing properly, but be mindful how you dry it. Letting it dry deflated while hanging from the freefly handle or leash attachment is one of the main causes of hernia formation.
Ideally, slightly inflate your wing and let it dry in a shaded, wind-protected area to prevent flapping and UV damage. - Avoid shaking your deflated wing by the freefly handle to remove sand or water. This can cause the bladder to shift out of place.
- Always fully unroll your wing before inflating. This helps prevent twisting of the bladders, especially in the leading edge tips or around valve areas.
- Inflate your wing gradually and check partially inflated sections for any folds or kinks along the bladder. These are signs the bladder is not properly aligned or is twisted.
Gradual inflation also allows air to distribute more evenly throughout the wing. - This technique helps prevent over-inflation of the leading edge. Air has more time to move through the one-pump system and inflate the strut evenly, instead of creating pressure buildup in the leading edge. The result is more balanced pressure across both parts.
- If your wing hasn’t been used in a while or has been tightly packed for travel, gently massage the bladders during inflation. This helps them detach from the fabric and return to their proper shape.
- In hot and humid climates, consider applying talcum powder to the bladders. It helps prevent sticking and makes them easier to reposition during inflation.
Taking just a few extra seconds to prepare and care for your wing will significantly extend its lifespan—and more importantly, improve your safety on the water.
