That was one of the good things about old kites. After a crash, just fix it with some sticky tape or some spare wood. I poked a tiny hole in my Deep Space whilst on holiday and spent ages trawling round boat shops and water sports shops looking for spinnaker tape!
I remember as a kid, letting my Aunt have a go with my new stunt kite and she pile drived it straight into the sand at full speed. The fibreglass centre strut split into what seemed a thousand pieces. I took it back to the caravan, found some of my Grandfathers electrical tape and coiled it round the entire length of the strut. Probably not the strongest of fixes, but it saw me through the rest of my holidays.
