Kite Repair in Portland/Hood River??

Hi, I'm new to the area and need to get some repairs done on my kites. I have been recommended to Airtime http://www.airtimekite.com/map_tw.html but am wondering if there are any good people doing private repairs in the area??

Also, I've just moved to Portland, am originally from Southern Oregon, but have been living and kiting in South Africa and Turkey for the past 4 years. I don't know any kiters here and am looking to hook up for trips to the Gorge and/or waveriding on the coast. Please let me know if anyone has extra room in their car when taking some trips...

This is kind of an old post but this fellow was local. Also dangler is in Stevenson and does a good job too

airtime is awesome - always have done a good job.

Kiterx also does an excellent job. Hit up Dangler on the forum - he can get you squared away. He lives somewhere near Stevenson, WA but I know that he is willing to meet up with you.

Also, the post that Betty Boarder pointed you towards has a guy named session shaper. I'm not sure if he is still in the area, but last I checked he was working out of his house in beaverton and does quality work.

You can also try and fix it yourself with a kit from either airtime or kitefix.com. You can go to kitefix.com and check out what their product can fix (you would be surprised what it can fix) and the repairs are solid.

As for carpooling. There are lots a dudes who carpool to save on gas. What part of town are you in?
