Great session yesterday, but crashed the kite hard and tore a big panel.

This is a 3 year old (2010) Airush Lithium 9m.

Is this fixable or is it time for a new kite? Opinions/experience please.

Did an almost identical rip to my kite...my fault (just being a muppet). Neil did an awesome job...what a master of repair, looks like new.

G'day from Bali!!! Just shot over here for the weekend for my birthday!! Back around Tuesday lunchtime so feel free to call after say 3pm. All kites are repairable but some older worn-out ones are just not worth repairing. Most will be back with you within 24 hours.
