Man it sucks when you break your kit! Not to worry, don’t let it go to waste.
I offer a carbon fibre repair service for various kinds of sporting equipment. I consider this somewhat of a community service at a very fair rate as I hate to see things thrown away, so please get in touch today and talk to me about what it is you’ve broken you silly goose.
Here’s some examples:
- Ice hockey sticks (see more info below)
- Ice hockey skates/ski boots
- Kayak paddles
- Masts/spars
This list isn’t exhaustive; if you have a carbon fibre part that you’d like me to look at, just sing out anytime and I’ll be happy to talk it over with you.
Ice hockey sticks
Ice hockey sticks make up a lot of the repair work I do. Over the years I’ve developed a method of internal repair which involves directly removing and replacing the carbon fibre in the vicinity of the break. This method adds virtually no weight (maybe 5-10g), causes negligible affect on the stick flex and feel, and is barely visible. The shaft length will be returned to original if a noticeable length of damage needs to be removed.
I can mix and match sticks and blades sometimes where a little creativity is required (provided the shaft dimensions are close enough), so get in touch if you have some snapped twigs laying around that deserve a second chance.
I don’t tend to fix blades as they’re extremely sensitive and finicky, but there’s exceptions to every rule and it can be done if you’re real keen on it and the damage isn’t too bad.
The going rate of $100 for a standard repair is pretty minimal and certainly stuff all compared with the cost of a complete replacement, so feel free to give me a call/email if you’d like some work done 🙂
