hey great site, who does the kite repairs around here? just starting out and got given a wipika hydro. I need the leading edge (around the bladder) sewn back together. it was unpicked for some reason? Thanks
Dan

The only place i'd ever take my consider taking my gear is Kiteworks - www.kiteworks.co.nz

cheers any idea of their charges?.
am also on the look-out for a pump if any one has one they would like to sell? 8)

A big hippy from alligator swamp mentioned that kiteworks is over fixing kites that have L.E. or strut issues & other time consuming repair jobs... i don't know if this is correct as you can never trust a hippy 100%!!!

Anyway i have been repairing kites for a couple of years now & can help you out if need be; Hourly rate is $20.00 + materials. I would need a detailed description of problem for a quote.

yeah thanks for all this, Bladders is out, and as far as i can tell, it only needs a single line of stitching to close the leading edge. it was unpicked, not by me about 40cm long, not sure if that helps? :roll:

Must be somthing about the Hydro, i blew my LE at raglan on teh weekend in the waves
Bladder busted and a tear from one strut to the next
What do you rekon SR, is it worth fixing??

Djoblin; Go & get kiteworks opinion 1st

Mark; I'll have a look...

Comes a time when the fabric has seen better days & it's time to buy a SS FUEL !!!

couldn't agree with you more mr sky spanker.
Mark, from your picture, it looks like you have already seen the light. So go ditch that old rag and get yourself another Fuel.
ps are you unhooked in the photo
pps can I borrow your hat for next weekend

I believe it to be a photo of Nana B-bent Aunty Earl, the hat is Marks...

Weathers looking good for raglan again this weekend.

All you cross dressers jus' stay the hell away up north of the bombay borderline!!!

yeah thanks guys kite works are sorting it out, for less than i thought so all is good.
Thanks for your advice though, much appreciated

We are heading south Sky-stroker, so be prepared for kiting and drinking festivities.

yeah me too sky spanker and osama is coming with me. might have to leave hazel behind as shes abit stiff bow legged and shitting everywhere. Can't think why

Sly rider has a keen eye, teh photo is nana b-bent taken by me at rags one weekend, and the hat was for the festive season
