Naish torch 08

hi all some of you mite remember my post about my leaky slingshot fuel.i have now fixed it thanks to stormsure glue.i decided for a bit of ebay searching for random kitey bits one nite and landed myself a Naish torch 08 model(10mtr).its had a leading edge blowout which has been properly repaired and the bladder was patched which has started to fail,so seller included a brand new full set of bladders in the deal which i got for £30.are these kites well know and reliable.i intend using the kite on land and water
