Detecting leaks and creating a repair plan
€ 25,- per kite or wing
You pay a one-time fee per kite or wing for detecting the leak(s), even if no repairs are ultimately made.
If the expected repair costs exceed an agreed amount, I will contact you first before proceeding with repairs.
After the repair, the kite or wing undergoes a leak test. During this test, the kite or wing must remain fully inflated for at least 12 hours.
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to detect all leaks in one go. The re-detection of leaks will not be at your expense.
If the kite or wing did not pass the leak test, I will create repair plan B and contact you when the costs (come close to) exceed the agreed amount.

Starting rate
€ 20,- per bar
You pay a one-time start fee per bar. This fee includes the assembly of parts and inspection for damages, wear, and uneven line lengths. When new points arise from the inspection, I will get in touch before I start repairing.
It is also possible to order the parts you need from me and do the assembly yourself at home.
Sisu Repair uses the highest quality dyneema kite lines from the brand Liros. I have every type of kite line from Liros in stock, allowing me to offer short repair times. Not only for bars but also for bridle lines and foil kites.
All steering and power lines will be replaced with Liros D-Pro SK99 lines. Prefer the original lines from your brand bar? I can arrange that for you, just ask about the possibilities.
I use 12-braided depower lines for longer durability.

Additional information:
I can also repair drysuits; however, the options for this are more limited. Please contact me to discuss what I can do for you.
High-quality, flexible, and stretchy neoprene is difficult to source as a repairer. I have new 2, 3, and 5 mm neoprene in black in stock.
For this reason, all repairs are done in black. In some cases, it is possible to place a colored piece of tape over the repair.
I also have a large assortment of used 'donor' wetsuits available for certain colors and parts such as knee pads.
Misc
