We repair kites for boarders. Pro or just learning...you have an investment in your equipment. Whether you have a blown out bladder or a shredded wing, we can restore your kite to it's original strength and geometry (and we'll be sure that it looks good too). Whatever the damage, we've seen it all and we know how to fix it right.
We can install custom logos and artwork on your kite. Publicize your corporate sponsors, advertise your school or business, or just express yourself. We can do single or multi-colored logos graphics and lettering. Graphics will stay on your kite as long as you need them and can be removed if you need to change them.
We service kites from anywhere in the country - no problem. Normally, we turn kites around in three days. Need it faster? Just let us know and we'll get your kite in and out in a day and ship overnight or two-day - whatever you request. Call or e-mail us and we will schedule a UPS pick-up at your location.
Send us a picture and description of your logo or an artwork file and the colors and sizes needed. We'll send you an estimate of cost to decorate your kite.
We also repair windsurf sails. In general, cost to exchange a panel is around $75. If you want to fix it yourself, here are the basics. Small rips less than 4 inches in X-ply or monofilm not near a seam usually can be stabilized with 3" mylar repair tape. For small repairs in dacron parts of your sail dacron adhesive tape patch with zigzag stitching does the job. Small rips or tears in luff sleeves can be patched using HeatnBond on a dacron patch then hand sew stitches around the edge of the patch. For larger X-ply or monofilm rips usually the whole panel section must be replaced. A shortcut to avoid replacing an entire panel is to create a new sub-panel section. Often a new sub-panel seam won't be all that noticeable cosmetically. Some films may not hold a new seam for a sub-panel. However once the monofilm is under seam tape it is protected from UV rays. We have a few yards of most commonly used materials for sale (1 yard minimum). We can also order whatever materials you need and you will get it within two weeks (5 yards minimum)
