Hi guys, I'm on a kitetrip trough WA and damaged my kite. There is a 5cm cut in the sail next to the front bladder.
Would need a kiterepair in the area if Albany the next days.
Please do you know someone who can help me?
thanks a lot!

Hi Andi
I'm not aware of any kite repair service down that way. Maybe there is a local sail maker?
If you got a decent piece of the Tear Aid tape, - then this could might work as an emergency repair, until you can get it stitched. I wouldn't use any other tape,,. Only downside is that this tape is very sticky and might not come off easy again.
If you come by Perth, then swing by my workshop and I can give it a quick service and repair it properly, to get you back on the water in no time.

hi jesper,
thanks for your help, I really appreciate this!
Saidly I'm not going back to Perth :(
So I used some canopy sticker from the switch kites first aid kit. Patched both sides with that sticker. The guys from switch told me it should be OK. If I can find a sailmaker in Denmark or surroundings, I'm will let it sewed properly, hope it is enough for the moment.
Thanks mate!! :)
