CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Bar care:

•  Make sure you regularly check your bar for wear and tear. Replace parts when 

needed.

•  Make sure your 

 lines are free of knots.

•  Before launching, always check that your quick releases are in working order and 

free of sand or other debris.

•  When reaching the water, before starting your kiteboarding session, splash some 

water on your bar to rinse   sand that has stuck to it.

•  After every session, rinse your bar with tap water to remove the salt from the bar. 

If there are problems with your kite or your bar, please contact your Peter Lynn 
dealer.

the kite sport puts a high strain on the equipment involved. By taking good care of 
your equipment, you can minimize the wear on your equipment.

Kite care:

•  Inspect your equipment before launch. Check for tears, abrasions, undone  

stitching, and all other forms of damage.

•  Regularly remove sand or other dirt from your kite, to improve 

 perfor-mance

ad reduce wear.

•  Regularly check if your zippers are still intact. Use silicon spray to clean them in

case of salt residue on the zipper.

•  Regularly check your VPC system for wear 

and tear. Make sure the pulleys are still in 
working order by spinning the wheels bij 
hand. Regularly check if the lines are still 
intact and that loops are free of wear. Also 
check if the VPC system is still connected to 
the webbing loops correctly as follows:

•  Do not rig on rough terrain. Stay far away from sharp items that could damage 

your kite, such as seashells, trees, washed up wood or fences.

•  Secure your kite using soft items like sand or sand bags. Do not use items with 

sharp edges like rocks.

•  Do not unnecessarily leave a kite unused for a longer period of time to prevent UV 

damage. Fold the kite in half and place some weight on both tips even when your 
kite is not used for a short period of time.

•  Always make sure your kite is dry before packing and free of sand or sharp items.

•  Regularly rinse your kite when used in salt water.

•  When storing for a long time, it is advised to leave part of the bag open, to allow 

fresh air to get in the bag, and any remaining traces of moist to dry up.
