Surfery Repair is Nicky's workshop in Brussels. Fifteen years, more than 2000 kites, and one pair of hands on every job that comes through the door.
The standard is simple: nothing leaves unless he would ride it himself.
Heat welding station
Temperature-controlled bonding for Aluula and D-LAB composite, the only correct process for those materials.
Vacuum infusion table
Carbon repairs on boards, masts and fuselages laid up under vacuum, not hand-pressed.
Walking-foot machines
Dacron, ripstop and webbing sewn on machines built for the thickness, with marine thread throughout.
Material stock in house
Ripstop, Dacron, Aluula, Teijin, carbon cloth and webbing on the shelf, so nothing waits on a supplier.
Nothing leaves untested.
Pressure hold
Repaired kites are inflated to riding pressure and held overnight. Any loss and the job goes back on the bench.
Load test
Bars, lines and harness load points are tested above expected working load before they are signed off.
Alignment check
Foils and masts are measured against a reference before return, not judged by eye.
Written record
Photos of the damage, the method used and the test result go out with every repair.
Twelve months on our workmanship.
If a seam we sewed opens, a patch we laid lifts or a valve we fitted leaks, the gear comes back and we redo it at no charge.
The guarantee covers the work we did. It does not cover new damage, or wear on material we did not touch. Quote the reference on your repair record and we will pull the photos and the method from the file.
