It happens to everybody
 
I just found out that I have 2 holes on my kite after today's session @ Matheson Hammocks.
One on the kite mesh, and one near the leading edge and the middle strut.(which is also the mesh).
Does anybody have any suggestions to fix this minor problem?
thanks!

How large are the holes? For minor perforations in non-critical areas you can use adhesive sail repair tape. You can get it at West Marine, make sure the patching area is clean and dry.

The best way to deal with this is with a professional repair. You may end up with a patch that doesn't fit in with the surrounding material. Miguel is probably closest to you for kite repair work near Matheson, http://www.bigkite.net

IM talking each holes of around half an inch in diameter.
Both are on the canopy.
