Hi guys,
I'm fairly new to power kites and got my first rip yesterday. Its pretty small and close to the leading edge.
Heres a picture
What should i do, would tape/glue work? should i get it sewed?

The best if you want it done by a professional.
I don't know what kite it is so I don't know if it is worth it?
They do sell ripstop tape which works great on normal rips but your is at the bridle? High stress area. ??? just don't know
:dunno:
Best of luck!

Best: Let someone else do it that knows what they're doing.
2nd best: Clean it with alcohol, apply sail repair tape, and machine stitch it for reinforcement.
3rd best: Clean it and apply sail repair tape. You're depending on the adhesive alone to keep it together, but in many instances that'll be good
enough.
