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.

Sand is relatively rounded, so it is not particularly harmful to the FS 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 your FLYSURFER kites.

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.
1.7. CLeANING
Only clean the kite with clear freshwater. All uses of chemical products can weaken the
material and invalidate the warranty.
1.8. 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.
