Default Kite repair

Does anyone have any suggestions for kite repair in the Tampa area? I have a 6 inch rip in one of the panels.
Thank you,
Robert

Advance Sails does not handle bladder repair/replacement, valve repair, or bar issues.

Watersports West is your one stop shop for all your repair needs.

Keith is the guy who does the sewing repairs for WSW, correct?

Why not just give the guy credit for the amazing work he does on all of our ripped kites, rather than taking credit for it yourself?

That wasn't a review.
In any craft, it is extremely uncool and unprofessional to take credit for someone else's work, period.

Does Keith at Advanced Sails do all the sewing repairs for Watersports West or not?

If not, and you guys are now sewing kites, I will remove my posts.

Fair enough?
