11 CARE
Flysurfer kites are very durable and
very UV and saltwater resistant. With
proper care, your kite may last even
longer. Eventual color changes of the
cloth can be caused by environmen-
tal causes, UV-exposure, mechanical
strain as well as it getting dirty. A
color change has no influence on the
flight characteristics whatsoever.
1.
Do not leave the kite exposed
to the elements
People who pack away their kite right after a
session, or for a longer break, will minimise
the amount of time the material is exposed to
the sun and flapping in the wind, extending the
“active“ lifespan of their kite.
2.
Drying
If a kite is packed away wet and left for a long
period of time it can develop ugly mildew spots,
rust on the metal parts or color bleeding of the
cloth. This does not effect how the kite performs,
but will reduce the value of your kite. In extreme
cases the kite may get mouldy.
3.
Rinsing
Rinse your kite from time to time with clear
water, after using it in salt water, and leave it to
dry in the shade. Do not use any detergents. The
warranty will be void after the use of
detergents on the cloth.
4.
Check
Check all parts of the kite before each use. Es-
pecially parts that can wear out. Material failure
on those parts can lead to further damages, or
put the kiter at risk.
12 REPAIR
The main parts that wear on the kites
are the Depower Line, the Safety
Endline, as well as the Sparepart Lines
and the pulleys. Depending on use, the
flying lines and other parts will need to
be replaced within the lifespan of your
kite. If you do not service these parts, it
can lead to damage to the kite and will
void the warranty.
12.01 Repairing the Cloth
In case you get a small tear (e.g.
through contact with a sharp object)
we have included a repair kit with your
kite. The area that needs to be repaired
must be clean, dry and grease-free.
Temporary repairs are possible with
spinnaker repair tape, but the tear
should be taped from the inside of the
kite. It is recommended that you round
off the edges of the repair tape. There
is the possibility to have a professional
repair done by us. We can exchange
whole parts of the canopy, so that
there will be no trace of the damage.
