KITE CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper care and maintenance will provide you with many years of enjoyment from 
your Ocean Rodeo kite. Important things to remember include:

• Keep your kite out of the sun when not in use.
• Deflate the leading edge and roll the kite when left on  
   the beach to eliminate flutter damage.
• Dry the kite after using, as failure to do so can cause  
  mildew and color bleeding.
• Rinse the kite with fresh water after extended salt 
  water use.
• Check on the inside of the leading edge tube (where the 
 canopy material sews on) for rocks, etc.
• Inspect the kite regularly for small tears, loose stitching 
  and general wear, and have repaired as soon as possible.
• Beware of heat in vehicles if storing your kite with 
  struts inflated. Excessive heat can damage valves on the 
  kite bladder.
• Check bridles for wear.
• Check pulleys for wear and rinse to remove salt 
   and sand.
