Kitepower in Geelong are good...they get Sparrow to do the repairs and they are first rate and very reasonable price...all you have to do is get the kite to/from Geelong

Ive had three kites repaired by a sail maker in Caulfield. can't remember the name but the ph number is 95718677. The only condition is that the kites have to be dry and free of sand. If it's a small repair he'll do it on the spot for you.

If it is a small repair do they just put a patch on it like you get in the kits?

Anyone go a idea of price
small holes
replacement of a pannel

The guy in Caulfield is OK - but Sparrow is better.

I ripped a kite I had - panel torn out from leading edge to trailing edge and ripped off of the leading edge.

Sparrow fixed it for not much more than $50. It wasnt colour matched as my kite was an unusual colour and I didnt want to wait.

Also my kite was in crap shape when I handed it over - basically straight from the mud flat I destroyed it on. No dramas!

I believe RPS, SHQ and St Kilda Kiteboarding all use the Caulfield sail repairer.

Thanks guys,

We didn't do that much damage but it was on hoilday and might be able to claim the expense on travel insurance but it sounds like the excess would be more than the repair!

Will try the Sparrow guy

Horizon sails in Bay rd Sandy, does an excellent job at great prices. Sparrow is also good if you are going to be in Torquay to drop off and pick up a couple of days later.
