Hi Tim (and Jim),

I really appreciate both your efforts over the holiday (working on Xmas eve) and your professionalism (contacting me to inquire on any questions and keeping me alert as to your progress). I am copying Daryl Drown who had recommended you. Between your group and Daryl's guys, it's great to see this type of service.

Tim,

Thanks again for such a good job repairing my Wipika. Everyone who sees the repair cannot believe that it was the same kite that was all busted up before. I've got another kite busted up like the first one. For some reason what ever I was doing wrong that caused my wipika to tear was the exact same thing I was doing when my friend let me fly his waroo while I was waiting for my kite to come back to me...

Thanks

Round 3 of kite repair for Sean...

Tim,

All i needed to do was look at my two kites and the repair you did on them to see just how awesome your work is. Every time I show someone (6 at last count) they cannot believe just how great the repairs are. I have used my Wipika about 4 hours since the repair and it flys just like it did before the accident. You do professional work and it's worth every dollar charged. Thanks again and when you have time I want to talk about a custom logo for my kite.

Tim,

Thank you for the great work on my kites and the fast turn around time. You did a great job – it's hard to tell where the repairs are. You are the man!

Thanks again,

Hello Tim -

Just reporting back. I took up the 12 yesterday (you fixed my leading edge) and had a blast. Zero performance loss is your claim, and I most certainly subscribe to it. Thank you for the awesome repair job...

Thanks for my repair of my 20 meter Naish X2 sent thru Michael Percy! It was so good I cannot remember or find the damage site – I'm sending this kite with two tears (small) use your judgement in any repairs, and thanks.
