Concept sails has a specialist traction kite and water relaunchible kite repair and service workshop situated just a half mile from Poole harbor one of the UK’s most popular kite hot spots.
It is a sail loft owned and run by kiters who understand the importance of the intricate design features on all the differing styles and disciplines of the sport.

We have a huge stock of laminates, rip stop, spinnaker cloths and dacrons many of which have been supplied directly from the sail manufacturers to make it possible for exact colour matches and near invisible repairs. Our technical expertise and love for the sport coupled with top grade machinery and materials means we can deliver a fast professional service.

Important... We have taken the time and expense to select machinery that is the same as that used in far east kite factories, we even use UV treated threads.- no ebay special sewing machines and have a go heroes here! We have had several repairs brought to us which have 'blown out' or caused the kite to fly incorrectly as a result of the repairers poor knowledge of build qualities and use of inappropriate materials and sewing techniques. The use of resin and glue based DIY repairs can result in the kite flying unbalanced and also makes it more difficult to repair professionally. We recommend using self adhesive kite repair tape and this should only be a temporary solution.

We will guarantee our repairs for 6 months

The Loft also shares a building with one of the British Kite Surfing Association offices and Easy Riders – one of the UK’s premier kite surf training and North Pro centre. The staff at Easy Riders really do know everything there is to know about setting up a kite and teach skills for first timers right up to training instructors. H20 Sports – one of the UK's leading watersports shops occupies the lower floor of the building so between the four of us we can sort out any kite issue you may have from a shell cut in your canopy to a BKSA instructor training course.

As we sail ourselves we appreciate the panic of a windy forecast. Concept sails offers a super fast turn around anyway but if you are in a real panic a 12 hour or for some jobs even a while you wait service is possible.

Sending us your kite

If you are unable to bring your kite to us in person, here are a few guide lines as to the best way to get it fixed

• If you require a quote first, you can either give us a call or send an email. A picture is really helpful for providing a quote although we can get you a ball park figure from a description.
• One of the easiest methods to send your kite will be parcelforce 48 at your local post office. Try to keep weight to a minimum by removing anything un necessary like the bar and lines and make sure the kite is as dry and sand free as it can be. This service should cost about £12. To upgrade to next day or first class will cost about another £5. We also recommend you take the extra insurance. Please make sure your contact details are in the package.
• We will contact you when we are working on your kite - usually within 2-3 days and we can arrange return delivery and payment. You can pay by card over the phone for immediate dispatch or bank transfer.
• Get your kite back, go sailing!
