Kite Spars?

mannyc · 02-05-2007, 09:31 AM

Does anyone know where I can get replacements? I went out Saturday morning and it was windier than crap. We'll my Bob Lewis kite took a dunk and one of the spars broke. I would like to replace the spar instead of buying a new kite. Does anyone know the number for Bob Lewis or the website.

Someone on the other site said I could send it back and get it repaired. They did not give me the site or number.

The instructions give www.kitehunter.com which is a invalid site. I found Home but that is his son charter site.

Try using an arrow of the proper size.

Ok if anyone else is having the same problem. I went to Fisherman's center in Riviera Beach . All you have to do is take your Kite to the local dealer (tackle shop) and they will send it away for you to get fixed.

I heard Bob Lewis went out of business. If you can't get it fixed, go with the SFE kite. Is is more money, but by far the best flying kite made.

I agree the SFE is a great all around kite. If you buy one buy two, they will not fly wet.

Bod Lewis went out of business but they will still repair them.
