WindFire Designs Kite Repair Service
We believe that if a kite is repaired properly, not only will it perform flawlessly, but you may even want to show it off.
WindFire Designs provides a complete service for kite repairs of any kind. We specialize in kitesurfing kites and have done literally thousands of them. We also do plenty of ram-air foils. When your kite is with us for repair, we proceed with care and precision and with fast turn-around depending on our current workload. Special part orders and other junk can make a repair take longer but we'll tell you that stuff.
Why we think our service is the best:
All our repairs are guaranteed forever.
Dimensionally perfect within < 1 mm.
OEM fabrics, thread, needle guages, and stitching patterns.
Fast personal service. 18+ years of kite design, building and repair experience.
UV resistant fabric and thread that will never gather sand or mildew.
All our repairs are totally compliant with the natural stretch and shape of your kites.
Good-will and customer-oriented pricing and payment policies.
Most importantly, we love what we do everyday.
Our specially modified sewing machines allow us to line up and repair rips fiber-for-fiber. WindFire Designs kite repair means zero performance loss.
Still worried? If you are unsure about the repairability of your kite, simply email us a picture showing the damage and we'll let you know.
• Go ahead, rush us. Write Time Sensitive (or something equally witty) on the outside of your box. Usually we can meet any deadline without extra charge.
Payment:
Please email
us to learn how payment works. You'll find our customer-oriented
offer is both easy and unusually generous.All
advice is free! If you are not satisfied with our work, we'll do the
work over or refund your money. It's that simple.
Cost:Some damage looks bad but is relatively easy to repair. The flip side? Some looks small and simple but actually takes longer because of the position in the kite's structure. Our customers often tell us that our prices are extremely reasonable. We intend to keep hearing that.
Repairs should look really cool (a corollary of "chicks dig scars")
Our prices relate only to the time we spend on your repair. We also have no minimum charge. The price-range of repairs is generally between $25 and $180. Please contact us for a free evaluation.
Bladders
We repair ANY brand of kite with any type of damage including but not only:
Bladders:We exclusively work with and recommend Jim Haddox for any kite bladder damage. Together, our two shops act as one smooth and fast service. If your bladder has failed along with fabric damage, simply let us know that you'd like us to help on your repair ticket.
Bladder Replacement and Repair: Jim Haddox "Bladderman" Your best option!
Jim Haddox does amazing professional bladder work with industrial heat-welding equipment that is often better than OEM. He has thousands of bladders in stock with better prices than we've seen anywhere else. Feel free to send us your kite and ask us to handle it.
About the people who do your repairs
Tim
Elverston (the Stitchiter) has worked professionally as a kite designer and builder for over 15 years. I've flown kites since I was 3 and had a Peter Powell at 9. What I really do is art but I disguise it as work so people don't notice. Read some thoughts on kite repair here.
Paul Forrestel (kite monkey) sewing like a maniac day in and day out. Kicking out kites like, you know, tomorrow.
Time lapse of Tim and Paul repairing kites
Time lapse video of us sewing on kite repairs all afternoon. Note the change in light from the windows in our shop. The time lapse video was made with an open source program called Gawker. I was working on an Ozone Access [blog link] and paul fixed two Best Waroos. The camera was shooting a frame every 30 seconds. I then extended it out to four times the length. The music is our friends Strut from Asheville NC.
