Is Greg (thankgodiatepastaforbreaky) in town right now or still in Baja?
If he isn't around you can also send it up to Greg (CKR) in Comox who runs Comox Kite Repair.
Basically just find a kiter on the island named Greg and ask him, odds are he'll repair kites :p

Add a nice row of reef points, or a grommet for your Cunningham hook :wink:

Not very busy at all here in Comox right now.

I'm as close as the bus station ( kite in the bag to the Courtenay station ) or your local postal outlet packed in a box.
