Another Kite repair question
Any recommendations for kite repair? Any preference for Windfire designs vs fixmykite , or any other options? I'm planning to repair the blown cell on
my HQ rush pro as the repair cost should be reasonable.
Thanks for any input.

Windfire, FixMyKite, and John at PowerzoneKiteSports all have a solid reputation on PKF for doing repairs. One of the things you might want to factor into your decision is what
the current workload/turnaround time is for the various shops.
This time of year, folks get busy with additional business, local events, and <* gasp :o *> personal life.
If you are already sending out pic for quotes, it would be an ideal time to ask what their current workload/backlog is.

I had some place in corpus christi texas work on my frenzy.... they did amazing work and not a bad price at all for the size of the blown cell. John
makes my lines that go through pulleys that wear out on the frenzy 06 (not speed system) both do great work.

Sent the kite out today to Windfire. Excited to see what Tim does to make it right again. I'll report back once I get it back in a week or two.
Thanks for everyone's help.
Good winds to you all!
