My 13M Venom got a 1" tear on the top skin right by a seam. I have done repairs with tear-aid in the middle of a cell on an ARC. I have also had
repair with ripstop tape sewed on one of my LEI kites. This one looks to me like I should get inside the cell if I want to sew on a patch or put
tear-aid on both sides. Anyone have experience with this or recommend a shop that knows ARCs? Or could I get away with the tear-aid?
It is barely noticeable and it took me some time to find it again after I unrolled the kite.

Dang if ever there was a repair to try yourself, this might be it. You'll spend $50 in shipping to get it to fixmykite but they can probably fix it
for little or nothing. To stitch it you might have to unstitch the bottom seam to get inside.

clean with water , dry thoroughly. apply to flattened area , maybe $1.
dacron /sail tape...clear tear aid if you got a choice....even hardware stores have "repair tape" by 3m water resistant. dacron is very rigid, my
favorite..
align ripstop!
