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.
|
Our specially modified sewing machines allow us to line up and repair rips fiber-for-fiber. WindFire Designs kite repair means near 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.
|
Our current workload status is (updated March 2008): 'pretty caught up so it's quick right now'
5 day turn-around 
(slider locked for user safety)

Common questions about our kite repair service
|
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: "Oh man, my kite looks bad, will it be expensive?"
Some damage looks bad but is relatively easy to repair. The flip side is some looks small and simple but actually takes longer because of its position in the kite's structure. Our customers often tell us that our prices are extremely reasonable. We intend to keep hearing that.
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.

Tim,
Thanks again for such a good job repairing my Wipika. Everyone who sees the repair cannot believe that it was the same kite that was all busted up before. I've got another kite busted up like the first one. For some reason what ever I was doing wrong that caused my wipika to tear was the exact same thing I was doing when my friend let me fly his waroo while I was waiting for my kite to come back to me...
Thanks

Round 3 of kite repair for Sean...
Tim,
All i needed to do was look at my two kites and the repair you did on them to see just how awesome your work is. Every time I show someone (6 at last count) they cannot believe just how great the repairs are. I have used my Wipika about 4 hours since the repair and it flys just like it did before the accident. You do professional work and it's worth every dollar charged. Thanks again and when you have time I want to talk about a custom logo for my kite.

Hello Tim -
Just reporting back. I took up the 12 yesterday (you fixed my leading edge) and had a blast. Zero performance loss is your claim, and I most certainly subscribe to it. Thank you for the awesome repair job...
