I got a small tear in Hobie Trampoline. How can I fix this? So it won't rip open more. I hope someone has found a way to do it.

Should be able to sew it shut. Try a trampoline repair kit.

Thanks TI_Tom.
Anyone else have tried to repair theirs successfully?

Update: I look very closed how the tramp is made. No stitching at all. It seems to be mate together by glue or heat.
I am going to cut a piece from Tramp pocket to put underneath the tear area.
Matt: Can you comment on what method to do this? (glue_what type or heat gun).

Upholstery shop. Patch on the underside and sewn all around. This is cut, not torn. The material is extremely strong. Even cut they don't easily tear. This is vinyl mesh.

I was able to repair a tear bigger than this (damned knife) using McNetts seam sealer. I was surprised how well it held up over the years. Have used the same stuff to repair tears in my sail (damned lures) using this stuff as well. Really handy stuff to have
