Our repair centre offers several options for canopy repairs. Most kites suffer damage by either sharp objects on the beach such as branches, shells or the fins of your board. The damages are usually small and the repairs are quite inexpensive. 
However, if left unattended any hard crash can result in a large rip from the trailing edge all the way to the leading edge.

Most kite canopy damages can be repaired by applying ripstop tape on both sides after lining up the fibres with the help of our backlit table. Secured with our 3-step sailmaker sewing machine the repair is as strong as the original fabric should outlast the kite’s life expectancy. For larger canopy damages we usually replace the fabric by applying a new ripstop fabric section. Like the manufacturer, we use high-quality transfer tape and secure the seam with our 3-step zigzag sailmaker machine.

Our biggest challenge is colour matching. All kite manufacturers custom order their canopy fabric and pick different colours every year. To make matters worse all fabrics fade in the sun and even OEM fabric will not match.  We have a variety of colours available and try our hardest to come up with a canopy repair that will blend in.

Should your wing have some canopy damage and you are unsure how we would approach the repair, please feel free to send us some pics and we are more than happy to help.
