I have unfortunately spun nose first my Matrix into the ground while trying to hand control to a friend with little experience. As a result the nose tip of the kite's main spar running from nose to tail has shattered. As I bought the kite secondhand and don't have any instructions or a manual I'm not sure what exactly used to be in the nose of the kite or even what the main backbone spar is made of. All the other tubes look like carbon fibre and are marked skyshark P200x etc but this broken tube has no markings on it and there is no sign of any kind of plastic capping etc to the tube (presumably if there was a plastic cap it may have sheared off in the impact. It also doesn't have the woven look of carbon fibre and it made me wonder if it is fibreglass?
This is the first time I have needed a repair so some questions:
What tube should the Matrix have?
How is the end of the tube finished off - capped?
Should I just hand it over to kitesup who are about an hour drive away (I'm near Petersfield)?
Likely repair cost?
Grateful for any advice,
Best regards,
Saxon
