Kitefix Dacron Repair tape Kite Kitesurfing

Repaired a leading edge tear with the tape.....two sessions later still holding strong, so hopefully a long term cost effective fix.....enough tape on the roll to redo if needed from time to time.

Bought some of this tape after many reviews of what to do if a small stress tear appears on your wing. In my case two and they are small 1cm to 2 cm respectively. The material for Wings is very thin, the stress exposed to in my case quite high as the wing has a very large wingspan and I am heavy (100 kg). Thus, me using the wing normally as you would put a larger amount of force through it then a lighter person, especially when pumping to get up. If you follow the instructions to the letter, making sure the kite material is super clean and deflated then this tape can be used on the sheet and in my case leading edge. BUT this is a 2-day fix on the leading edge. The Wing must get a serious repair before it can be used properly again. I see this tape a bit like a get me home wheel. It will do a job for a couple of days and save further damage, but the Wing won't be doing anything special, just be happy to go and avoid crashing. Applied correctly (more is more, the glue holds the edge by volume of tape, not just enough to cover the hole), the tape does really well. The Wing performs as it would, and the damage is halted till repair comes. I would recommend a role in the van, just in case. BORDWORX delivery and customer care was great, makes the process super easy, advice given was also very good. I recommend them.
