C4: Get hooked on unhooking

Ozone C4 – Progressive Newschool & Freeride

As many of you know we have been repairing kites here at Air Padre for many years now. We can fix minor and major bladder problems as well as sewing all shapes and sizes of canopy, leading edge and strut damage. If you have us repair your kite we guaranty all sewing work for the life of the kite so you can rest assured we take the time to do the repair right with the highest quality materials. Our turn around time on this is usually 1-2 days so you can count on getting you gear back quickly so you can get back out on the water.

We hope that you will think of us when you have kites issues at home. You can ship us your damaged kite to get it fixed. If you email us pictures of the damage we can get you an estimate, email to gears@airpadre.com. When it is time to ship please complete and print the online form and include it with you kite.
