Post by Bryun »

Hello All!

Blew one of my bladders today - anyone know who does bladder repair on the island? (I am in Nanaimo).

Cheers!

And if you are not a DIY type, Comox Kite Repair can handle most any repair for wings and kites.

Duotone wings come with this inner tube patch kit https://www.parktool.com/en-int/product ... h-kit-gp-2 . Useful for small pin pricks but that is about it. Found this useful, but long, to do some repair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYBy7MfLtAo.
