Hey everyone!
Thanks for all the great content on these forums.

I've got this leak in my kite which is causing it to deflate enough in 15mins for me not to be able to get up on my board properly. Can you suggest how/where I can fix this? I'm south of the river in Perth.

Sail doctor, recommended repairist for most brands inc airush, pretty sure you can drop off at airborne / airush for collection

Hi kitermate

Can definitely vouch for Ryan @ The Sail Doctor. It's good that you eventually learn how to do it yourself as leaks are quite common and not hard to fix, just time consuming.

If your kite has a leak due to crashing in sharp grass for example, it's possible that they are other smaller leaks elsewhere that you won't be able to find unless you put much more pressure in your kite. The frustrating part of fixing leaks is that the smaller they are, the harder they are to find and fix. If you're lucky there is only 1 hole to fix, if you're not there may be others and that may take much more time and patience to fix

This post is already a day old so presumably you've already called Ryan. If not, just call Ryan, he's not only the best , he's also very cost effective.

Cheers mate - haven't seen much of you yet this season.......

That means one of two things - either you are not getting on the water much......
or you've stopped smashing stuff so hard.

Whichever it is thanks for the recommendation. Ry
