Default kite repair?

last wednesday the stitching on the leading edge of my 11m Wipika tore loose for about 20 inches, exposing the bladder. i think i had overinflated it,10 psi, and a gust put too much pressure on it causing it to rip. can anyone recommend a kite repair shop either locally( i live in venice) or someplace i can mail it to?

I am not familiar with a repair place on the SW coast. Perhaps Latino has a suggestion. In Ft. Lauderdale there is:

Airtime http://www.airtimekite.com/index.html

and

Kite-X http://www.kite-x.com/

by far the best results I have had from

http://www.windfiredesigns.com/

contact Tim Elverston

Tim has been working with kites of all kinds for 20 years and really understands construction.

I've tried others with mixed results
