Last weekend my kite and a very old, dead actually, kodger of a tree up on Mille got into a bit of a wrestle with eachother. The old kodger won and ate my kite for lunch. It was quite sad. Thanks everyone for their help getting it down. BTW I think John and Pete have a bit of missing link in them.

Any who...I took my kite into Sail LaVie in White Bear and it came back today looking like a kite again. She used near match fabric, matched the threads to the tape to minimize frankenstein references, and overall did what appears to be a top notch job. I repaired the bladder and have it pumped up in the garage and will see if it holds air overnight.

I'd recommend Bridgid at Sail LaVie to anyone looking for repairs.

I can second the reco for Sail LaVie. I've never had a kite repaired there, but they're really capable and will work with you on anything.

Wonderful! Nice to have a local. It's never fun to send in and wait.

:DI can throw in a vote there too. Had a kite turned around in 3 days and 2 of them were shipping from Litch to Whitebear. I was more than pleased with the
service.

I got some very nice work done there as well. However ! I would caution anyone getting their kite fixed to remove the bladders near the damaged area,. Otherwise your struts might not pump up very well after the repair.

Happy sailing everyone. I barely make it out myself any more, but adulthood calls sometimes.

Ditto- she does nice work. Just ask randy- I borrowed his kite, and sure enough, it split open when I was using it. Makes great bags out of sailcloth, too.

Flew the kite last weekend. Couldn't tell from new. Great price, incredible turn around time, and beautiful work. What a great resource to have locally.
