Bill,

For a repair that small, spinnaker tape on both sides should do the job. If it's near a seam you might want it professionally repaired but if it's in the canopy, tape should be fine. I've done a couple of small repairs with spinnaker tape that held up very well. You can get about 4-6 colors on the internet. One should come close to matching yours.

Other wise repair it with tape for now and send it in to Airtime between seasons so you don't miss any flying time.

Bill,
I'm glad you got your kite back. I see that you couldn't resist the allure of the TD2. Curious...do you still have your bularoo? If so have you been up and dialed yet? Would love to hear your thoughts on the two kites-particularly from a newer rider perspective. My offer still holds to help out with the bularoo if you still have it.

Happy 4 U! SS must have incorporated some homing pigeon DNA in those TD II's. What size Bully? JN

13m Bully

Yes... I still have my 13m Bularoo :D
Fom a new riders perspective... the SS 14m T2 relaunches very easily under a number of conditions that can be challenging for a beginner (e.g. light wind, deep water, LE down, ...). It seems like the T2 just wants to roll over and relaunch. The bar, depower, and safety systems also seemed more intuitive to me.
Once in the air, both kites fly very well... and they both have single inflation and bombproof construction (important to me as new water rider and a snowkiter).

I will probably sell my Bularo (I will post on the Lakawa classified... then onto ebay). Let me know if you are interested.
