Since a few mishaps are inevitable with our rocky Lanier beaches, I thought I'd post a link to a kite repair shop that I've had great luck with.

Jeff Howard at Prokitesurf does a fantastic job at very reasonable rates. I got a small tear in my leading edge sleeve fixed for $48 including return shipping and he had it back to me within the same week. He does warranty work for all kite brands if you've got a problem that is not rock induced.

Mel - I just found a repair loft here on Hilton Head that might be useful too. Quantum Sail Repair. William has repaired a friend's windsurfing sail and kites for several of the guys out here. I was in the shop yesterday picking up a wetsuit (zipper replacement) and he had a kite from Atlanta that just came in - from Konrad. Anyway, he's a little closer than Texas if you want to try him out. 843-342-6612.
HUGE wind and water today. Faces 10 to 12 feet. Gusts right at 50. Toooo much . . . peace s, t carter
