Hi,
If it's a rip in the rip stop material in the canopy. Go to Whitworth marine (Port Adelaide) they have stick on rip stop in the correct colour. Just stick it over rip.
Make sure its as flat as you can get it before sticking it on.
If rip is in Dacron part of the kite. Same process. (But you may have to run a line of stiching around the patch.
I can do this if you need it.
Just PM me.

Use an iron on the SILK setting and iron the patch on.... this helps melt the glue onto the kite and it'll hold for ages
