›› avoid bringing the kite into contact with sharp-edged rocks, thorns,
wood and other objects that may damage, puncture or tear the cloth.
›› do not expose the kite to excessive sun as it ages the material unnecessarily.
›› deflate the bladders if the kite is to be left unattended for any length of time.
›› avoid leaving your kite on the beach for extended lengths of time as small
wind movements may quickly cause wear and tear to the cloth.
›› Try to pack up the kite without cuttlings into the kitebag to avoid tearing the canopy.
›› To carry a kite, turn it so that the leading edge is upwind and the underside faces
upward. grab the center of the leading edge tube. if the wind is blowing, it will hold
the kite clear of the ground. be sure not to drag the tips of the kite across the ground.
›› a coating that results from using the kite in salt water will not damage the kite.
however, rinsing in fresh water and drying doesn’t hurt.
›› When cleaning the kite be sure that no water, dirt, or sand gets inside the bladders.
›› be sure that the kite has dried completely before packing it up.
otherwise changes of color or mildew could occur.
such bleeding is not covered under the North kiteboarding warranty.
›› do not dry the kite in direct sun!
›› remove the deflator pins from the rib valves after use!
›› keep sand and water out of the air pump.
