Here are some tips on how to properly take care of your kitesurf equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Incorporate as many of these tips as possible to maximize the lifespan of your gear.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you’re not using your kite, protect it from the sun. Over time, sunlight fades and weakens the fabric and seams. Under intense heat, overinflated bladders may burst.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Untie any knots in your lines before flying your kite. Knots weaken the lines and can cause them to snap.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hard crashes of the kite on the ground or water can burst bladders or tear the fabric. If a crash is unavoidable and you’re using a safety leash, release the bar to reduce the impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the beach, don\u2019t expose the bladders or open the bladders\u2019 chambers. Sand is very abrasive and, under pressure, can cause micro punctures in the bladders. Also avoid letting water or sand enter through the valves\u2014always keep them tightly closed.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If your kite tears, stop your session and have it repaired (we offer this service). Otherwise, the tear will expand and could make the kite unusable.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

After each session, always rinse your bar and lines with fresh water and let them dry in the shade.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wrap the lines in a figure-eight (\u201c8\u201d) pattern so they don\u2019t get twisted. Twisted lines tangle more easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kitesurfing equipment costs money\u2014and money is hard-earned! With a few care tips, you can significantly extend the gear\u2019s life.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After each kite session, either wrap the lines around the bar or lay them neatly stretched <\/span><\/p>\n

on the ground. Lines can tangle in seconds and take hours to untangle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Never store your kite while it\u2019s wet, as the fabric may develop mold and deteriorate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
