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.
