A couple of our babies need some love / mods. Has anyone out there used a repair shop that you just feel has done an awesome job? Referrals are
important. I have used ProKiteSurf in the past and have done good work (awesome communication) on my Bullet that was torn from a run in with an oak
tree. Here is what I was looking to have done:
1. One of the bridle lines on a 2008 9.5m Sabre2 has broken. Simple fix, needs one new bridle line, would like the others spot checked to see if
there is anything glaring that should be replaced.
2. My son has a Ozone IMP Trainer, it’s a 2.5m kite with 3 lines. I would like to have this converted to a 4 line kite. I disconnected the 3rd line
and attached pigtails to the right/left side. Unfortunately when you pull them tight, like as it was flying, it clearly pulls more on the center two
lines. I could make customer bridle extensions, but I think I would rather have the pro’s do this for me. I don’t think you need to install any new
mount points.
I know at some point I will have to start doing some of my own simple repairs on the bridle lines, but for now, I'll leave that to the people who fix
kites for a living.
Thanks for the feedback - Greg

I'm fortunate that Powerzone isn't too far from me.
He has a passion for fixing and Mod'ing kites.
For and example of a repair see my Speed in the for sale section. He has done the FDS mod on my Phsycho II and also did the 1.5 mod on the Speed. He's
been a wealth of knowledge + has thrown in little extras he saw needed done. Like O.S. handles on the PII
It's a bit far for shipping in your case but he gets my vote !

I appreciate the referrals. I'll give them a buzz and see about getting a cost.
