KiteFix is proud to announce our sponsorship of the REAL Kiteboarding Lesson Center for the eighth year in a row.  Since 2004 REAL Watersports has been using KiteFix products to keep all their kites in shape and in the air.  And with over 32,000 satisfied students, this is no small feat.

New for 2011 the KiteFix Complete Repair Kit will now come with an additional tube of our amazing GluFix effectively doubling the repair capacity of this already amazing kit.  Our previous kit could repair a canopy tear from 4-6 feet in length.  Now, with the additional tube, you will be able to complete a color matched canopy repair between 8 and 12 feet in length!  On top of this, the retail price of the kit will remain the same, making this industry standard reference DIY KiteFix Complete Repair Kit, unmatched the world over.  Don’t settle for cheap imitations, trust only KiteFix for your DIY kite repairs!

KiteFix is proud to be the leading and reference DYI kite repair solution in the world, trusted by over 220 dealers and distributors.  Check out our website to find a dealer or distributor near you.

There has been some talk in the market place about GluFix being simply a private label version of Seam Grip® and we want to make things clear.  Simply put this is not the case.  Seam Grip® is a great product for what it is made for, namely sealing seams on tents and the like.  I have used it on my tent and it works well, but it is not the same as GluFix and is not made to fix your kite.  Seam Grip® is almost liquid in consistency and takes anywhere from 8-12 hours minimum to dry (more depending on humidity).

GluFix is formulated for kite repairs to dry fast, be applied easily and quickly, resist UV and be water proof.  GluFix applies easily, does not run and dries in 30 minutes to approximately 90% strength.  Kite canopy repairs up to 2 feet can easily be made with GluFix and FiberFix within 30 minutes and under 4 feet within one hour.

We welcome you to compare the two products side by side.  We are sure you will find the same thing we have already found….that when it comes to saving sessions, and your kite, GluFix is the choice.  Don’t be fooled by other companies lies, cheap imitations and promises of money saved.  KiteFix products have been field tested around the world for over seven years.  Trust your DYI products to those who specialize in DYI Permanent Kite Repair Products.

We know KiteFix is strong and can hold up against any repair, but some people still need to be convinced, so we decided to put a video together to show once again how amazing this product really is.  Take a couple minutes and check out how we blow up a kite (and I mean using a compressor until it goes BANG), repair the bladder with our new Ultra-Adhesive MONSTER Bladder patch, and the leading edge with GluFix, FiberFix and Dacron and then blow it up again.  Can you guess where it blew up the second time?  The video is fun to watch and really drives home the fact that KiteFix products offer simple and fast, do-it-yourself permanent kite repair solutions.

You can check out our updated dealer website for a dealer near you, or purchase online.

Thanks for watching.
