KITE REPAIRS ARE CARRIED OUT IN OUR WORKSHOP ABOVE THE KITE SHOP IN NORTH DEVON. WE HAVE TWO MACHINES AND PLENTY OF REPAIR STOCK. WE HOLD 20 DIFFERENT COLOURS OF RIP STOP NYLON AND FOUR COLOURS OF DACRON TO GET THE CLOSEST MATCH POSSIBLE TO YOUR EXISTING KITE.
WE CAN DO CANOPY RIPS NO MATTER HOW BAD, BURST LEADING EDGES AND RIPS TO EDGES, REPAIRS TO BLADDERS AND VALVES, REPLACE VALVES AND BUILD UP NEW BLADDERS. FOR POWER KITES WE CAN DO RIPS AND TEARS, REPLACE CELLS AND MAKE UP NEW BRIDAL LINES.
WE HAVE BUILT A VERY GOOD REPUTATION FOR OUR KITE REPAIRS BY OFFERING A GOOD SERVICE WITH ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
IT USUALLY LOOKS WORSE THAN IT IS! RING US BEFORE YOU THROW YOUR KITE AWAY!!
THIS NORTH RHINO II 07 HAD A LEADING EDGE BURST DESTRYOING THE BLADDER. THE BLADDER WAS REMOVED AND REPAIRED, LEADING EDGE REPAIRED AND BLADDER RE FITTED.
THE TOP TWO PHOTOS SHOW A SLINGSHOT RPM THAT HAD THE MIDDLE STRUTT RIPPED OFF DAMAGING THE LEADING EDGE ALL AROUND IT. I HAD TO REMOVE THE STRUTT TOTALLY AND PATCH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FOR STRENGTH. SEW BACK THE STRUTT AND PRESSURE TEST.
THE BOTTOM TWO PHOTOS SHOW THE KITE ALL REPAIRED AND READY TO FLY AGAIN. YOU CAN JUST SEE THE BLACK STITCHING OUTLINING THE NEW EXTERNAL PATCH. THE INTERNAL PATCH IS HIDDEN BUT PROVIDES THE MUCH NEEDED STRENGTH TO THE REPAIR.
