This would be a good place to host a list of repairer's Australia wide.

It would be a good reference for future kitemares. Cmon guys let us know who you are.

Kitepower in Sydney repaired mine for me a few weeks ago, did a great job I thought. I tore through the leading edge and a foot into the canopy.

Neil at barracoutasails is the best. I've took absolute rubbish to him, it comes back perfect.His a magician.For me at least 12 times including leading edge repairs and once a 60cm x60cm hole needing 3 different colours to rematch on canopy.

Post it to Moti. The turnaround time is ridiculously fast and his work is impeccable.

Neil at Barracuda Sails is definitely worth a try. He has fixed two rips in the canopy on one of my kites - great job, good turn around and even better price.

A lady called Steph does good repairs, she's up in Elanora Heights. Day job is parachute work, but repairs kites in the evening/weekend. Quick turn around, did 3 separate repairs for me, all good. Fair price too. Found her via local Northern beaches kiters, word of mouth.

PM me for her mobile.

Glen in Avalon. I've shredded almost all my kites at one stage or another and he's stitched, repanelled or re-bladdered them as good as new. Just repanelled my 6m that got stomped recently in big surf and stretched the panel before tearing. Obviously they are scarred but they fly as good as ever.

I can pm phone no

Kitepower. We do all repairs, sewing is done by Neil at Barra, but you pay the same price. Neil will not touch any kites needing bladder work, we do that for all Barra repairs.
