There are two sail-length tears and a missing 50x50 panel at the top edge. I think I can make a reasonable repair with spinnaker tape, silk thread and a sailor maker's needle. My next problem is to work out how to rig it to fly it. Any suggestions? I have a budget of less than $50.00 (AUD/USD)/ €40. I figure that it could be turned into a useful practice kite. post:ask.metafilter.com,2013:site.232347 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 23:09:40 -0800 singingfish kiteboard kite http://ask.metafilter.com/232347/Help-get-a-damaged-kiteboard-kite-back-in-the-air#3363528 check the forums on aka.kite.org and the kitemakers forums on <a href="http://www.kitebuilder.com/kitestudio.html">kitebuilder.com</a> comment:ask.metafilter.com,2013:site.232347-3363528 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 09:58:17 -0800 Gungho
