17. Maintenance and repair
17.1. General care
FLYSURFER kites are extremely UV- and saltwater resistant, as well as very tear
resistant. However for maximum durability a few things should be pointed out:
17.2. UV-light
Even though the fabric has been tested for UV-resistance, we advise not to expose
the kite to unnecessary UV-light (e.g. leave it in bright sunlight).
17.3. Saltwater
The material has also been tested against saltwater. However, the kite can still be
rinsed out with fresh water on the inside and outside from time to time (e.g. after a
vacation) and then let it dry in the shade.
17.4. Sand
Sand is relatively rounded, so it is not particularly harmful to the kite. Glass or other
sharp or abrasive objects found on the beach can cause severe damage. Sand which
enters the kite will work its way to the wingtips, and will be removed automatically
from the kites.
17.5. Moisture
If a kite is stored wet and in a warm environment, it is possible for mildew to develop.
This won’t damage the kite but leaves ugly, dark stains. In extreme circumstances it
is possible for the kite to rot. Moisture can cause discolorations of the fabric.
17.6. Cleaning
Only clean the kite with clear freshwater. All uses of chemical products can weaken
the material and invalidate the warranty.
17.7. Wear and tear parts
Generally speaking, all moving parts are wear and tear parts. FLYSURFER only
chooses material with the highest quality standards. We are constantly developing
our materials further to provide our customers with maximum safety and product
quality. This aside, all kites should be regularly checked for signs of wear and tear.
After the kite has been exposed to heavy loads, you should thoroughly check all
affected parts to make sure that none of them have been weakened and/or show
excessive signs of wear and tear. When jumping, weakened parts can be dangerous
especially on land or in shallow waters.
Important: A kite should be viewed as a flying machine and like all flying machines
needs a regular, thorough check-up to ensure its safe usage. We recommend that a
specialist also performs a thorough safety check on your kite at least once a year.
