Holbox means Black Hole in Mayan. For most people lucky enough to have visited Isla Holbox it does seem to live up to its name. You won’t want to leave and many people spend more time here than they originally intended. We are currently planning our 4th visit this winter. We intend to be there from November through until May.
Here’s a short Kiter’s guide to Holbox
Kite repairs
You finished your last session with a bang?
You’ve ripped your kite in two, blown out the leading edge or just made a small tear in the canopy.
You have a few options:
-
DIY Repair – often possible with small rips, scuffs and leaks.
-
Kite Doctor – Professional Repairs are normally needed for bigger rips, blow outs etc. The repair should be as strong as the original kite and aesthetically pleasing.
-
Recycle – Nearly all damage can be repaired, though sometimes the cost may exceed the value of the kite or the canopy may be worn out. If you choose this option please get in touch and throw it my way, I can recycle it.
Its always a good idea to carry a kite first aid kit for those little easy to fix emergencies. Click here for details.
Whatever you do, no matter how tempting it is. Do not fly the kite again until its fixed.
