    Re: Repairs

    You have to try Fix A Kite, has a 24hr turn around and is really cheap. See his website for more info www.fixakite.com or contact him via email: eric@fixakite. Everyone raves about how well he fixes kites.

    Paul from 2nd Wind sales is still the most reliable and most well known in the  kite industry.

    Re: Repairs

    Eric did a great fix on my 10.5 Cult. Good quality, quick turnaround, nice guy. From what I can see, he makes his own brand of kite, so I figured he could probably fix them too.

    Never dealt with Paul, so I can't make any comparison. I have nothing against him, but just thought its fair to give Eric a representation too.

    I would go back to Eric, but would welcome more of this comparative discussion - always good to find out reviews of the professionals in our little community.

    Re: Repairs

    KiteFix available at our shop in Tableview, Cape Town. Good to have at hand if you are traveling somewhere where there are no (reliable) sail repairers.

    Give us a shout if you want more info.
