I've got a tear in canopy of my kite. Just wondering what the best product is for fixing it. Should i go to a marine shop and buy some sail repair tape or fix it with tear-aid? Just wondering what's the tuffest stuff out there for the best price.

Kitefix tape is awesome. Thin mesh tape you stick on the glue down. Works perfect. You should be able to get it from kitepower.

Tbaggn,
Check out the demo on UTube, Only thing I would say is if you have a rip from front to rear which a mate had - 1 tube of glue is only just enough. Where we are there are no repair shops and Kitefix has been a great help. You can order the tape and glue seperatly, if you don't want the full kit. Hope this helps.
