History

Big Air Repair-Swansea was borne out of Giles Hulm's "Big Air Repairs" retirement. Giles went to great lengths to support me during the change over, and whilst purchasing his machines and stock. I'm a lifelong sailor, windsurfer and new to wing foiling. After a career as a sailing coach which included working on sails and with sailmakers, I'm happy to be more hands on and confident repairing sails.

Sail Repair Expertise

I have experience in repairing sails for both sailboats and windsurfing equipment. I repair kite/wing canopies, leading edges and struts.

Fast Turnaround

I understand the importance of getting back on the water quickly. That's why I can offer fast turnaround times for all repair services.

Collection and return

Travelling regularly through South Wales I am able to collect and return to convenient locations on the M4 covering from Bristol to Pembrokeshire. I can arrange for kit to be dropped off at Pura Vida, Penarth to assist in this process. Postage can also be organised.

Ready to work on

Please deliver sails ready to go on the sewing machines. To stick and stitch sails they need to be clean, dry and sand free. If you would like your sail cleaning, I can do it for an additional charge, and please allow some extra time to allow for good drying conditions.

Time

I will repair your sail to get you back on the water as quickly as possible.

Testimonials

Read what our customers have to say about our sail repair services.
Mark Rich Wingfoiler and windsurfer
"Super repair, turned round in very quick time recomended"
We repaired a foil through Marks strut on his new GA wing, saving the bladder in the process.
Harry Trigg Kite surfer
"Ian met me close to the M4 and took my kite after a leading edge blow out. I thought I would have to replace the bladder, but he saved it even with a large irregular hole and stretching. My Ozone kite was finished and I collected it on my way to the beach within a week. What can I say, I will use him again!"
Richard Lloyd Windsurfer and wingfoiler
"Ian did a neat and strong looking repair on my Naish sail....fast turnaround and a good price. He also did a repair and strengthen job on a garden furniture cover. We had a quick chat about what I thought it needed, and Ian made the repair exactly as I had in mind."
Emyr Meek Sailor and windsurfer
"Heard Ian did a lot of windsurf, wing and kite repairs, but thought I'd take my laser sail with a torn head strap to him. He did an excellent job and I was so impressed I took our carbon jib off the Hunter 707 to be repaired. Did a super job replacing the hook on the tack, and tidying up the leach. Couldn't fault his work, and would highly recommend"
