Repair
Mon, 09/06/2010 - 09:15
Does anyone know where I could bring my kite to get it fixed? I need to repair/replace two strut valves and patch a 3' rip on the canopy. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

PM Rod (Gato on the Forum).
PM Gato (aka Rodrigo). He does great work. He lives in Portsmouth but works in Boston. Usually will find a way to grab your kite, fix it, then drop it off good as new.

Rodrigo is your man. He
Rodrigo is your man. He fixed my 12m a few weeks ago and it's as good as new. I had a huge rip in the kite and you can't even notice it now.

piranha sails
I usually use this place. Its local, in Marblehead, and they always do a good and quick job. I dropped my kite off last night and its already fixed (just need to pick it up). They have a locked drop box which is super convenient since you can pick up and drop off kites at night or super early AM.
I've only used it for canopy repair so I don't know if they do valve/bladder repair, but you can call and ask. Chris's phone is on the website, friendly guy.

Another vote for Gato
I just had two kites fixed with major damage to the LE. Repairs look very good and kite flies great. He even fixed a bladder that first looked beyond repair. First session on the water the bladder started leaking again. Called Rodrigo and he promptly came by and fixed the bladder again at my place on the spot. That's what I call customer care! Now everything is great. Highly recommend his services.
Thank you Rodrigo!
