Wing Repair in San Francisco

I cut my brand new Duotone SLS Slick Wing during my previous wing foiling session at Crissy. The wing is fragile and easily damaged by the sharp, carbon Armstrong foil attached to my Naish 110GS board.

 


At first, I tried patching the wing using specialty sail patch tape, but I was unsure how well it would hold out long term. I decided to get it done professionally and found one local specialist - Josh Waldman (415)-350-5524 on Craigslist.



I emailed him about my Duotone SLS 5.0 issue, and he replied within a day. He offered to repair the wing within 24 hours, and I dropped it off at his address (2930 Lyon Street, San Francisco), 15 minutes away on foot from our home rental on Scott Ave.

I dropped off the wing at 9:00am, and Josh had it fixed by 10:00am, using a black dacron. The wing repair looks very professional and costs $75 (paid by Venmo).
