Soon I will head for a few weeks Kiting - mostly in areas where there are no Kiters and material supply.
As I also have my Pansh Aurora2/19 for Foiling and Airstyle with me and I am a noob with Foilkites, what do you guys recommend to take as a repairset (For Tubes I carry Kiteaid and vents and all spare parts for lines and bars - I travel with 60kg Kiteluggage, so weight is not really an issue.
Is there a readymade kit?
On another note - whats your favourite launch/relaunch/land and maintenance/pack video tutorial for Foilkites - Got to get my head round that soon!
Thanks!

I would bring some spare kite line (if you want to be really well prepared, ~130kg and perhaps ~60kg breaking load for the bridle, ~2mm for the mixer), some self-adhesive spinnaker tape, and needle & thread. This covers exploded ribs from hard crashes, other canopy rips, and bridle issues.

Flysurfer offers repair kits for their kites. Maybe pansh do the same...
Otherwise contact the flysurfer team. They can help you for sure!

Good idea - yes Flysurfer is always super helpful!
Now with Foilkites being more popular, I hope sets ready-made are come on sale.
