I'm not sure that Mr. Frederick, aka The Kite Doctor, could repair those...... but he's always open to a free personal consultation.

Re: Most Damaged Kite Pics!
It wuz probably one of the Cab guys taking out their revenge on a Naish kite.... local rivalry, y'know...
I'm amazed that they were able to get it off the back-side of Flat Island.. That's major exposed super-craggy lava rock that will cut you to ribbons in 5 seconds which is constantly being bashed by the deep water waves of the mighty Pacific..... dangerous place to be trying to clean up the mess. Must've been a really calm day.
Major kudos for their commitment in cleaning up the kite flotsam.

@Haynman
hey i didn't mean that it was intentional put back there, it was big swell hitting the backside of the island and there was no way to retrieve it until a month later when it was a dead flat.
im not sure of the exact circumstances on how it ended up there, but shit happens. i've lost a couple boards and a kite there myself, (its a mean little break that you can ride in to the back but super sketchy) but not to that extent, or in as big of surf.

Re: Most Damaged Kite Pics!
Good to see it has been repaired - as the front tube was okay so it should be a relatively easy job for a good repair artist
