Wing repair

Off Topic Comments, Help, Tips and Trick

Seeking some guidance/advice.

The centre strut of my wing got a tear/rip, but looks like the bladder is fine. The tear is about 2 inches long.

Where’s a good place to get it repaired in Vancouver? Or can I fix it myself?

Check to make sure the bladder is really sound. The KT wings come with a material tape that I used to patch my leading edge. You might be able to find something similar online.

I've taken 2 of my wings to North Sails in Richmond, they do great work.
