Kite Repair – Ripped, blown out, leaky kite. What now?

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:

  1. DIY Repair – often possible with small rips, scuffs and leaks.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
