Duotone Dice SLS 2024

Maintaining your kite

Always rinse your kite with fresh water after use in salt water, and let it dry completely before packing it away. Avoid leaving your kite in direct sunlight for long periods, as UV rays break down the material over time.

Washing and cleaning

Clean your kite with fresh water and a soft cloth. Never use strong cleaning agents, soap, or a pressure washer, as these can damage the coating and seams. Also rinse the bar, lines, and attachment points with fresh water to remove salt and sand.

Drying

Let the kite dry completely while fully opened in the shade or partial shade - never leave it unfolded in strong sunlight or near heat sources such as radiators. A damp kite that is packed away can develop mold and odors.

Storage

Store the kite dry and clean, loosely rolled or loosely folded, in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Avoid storing the kite in a hot car or damp conditions, and regularly check the seams, bladders, and valves for signs of wear. Minor repairs to canopy nicks and small bladder leaks should be carried out as soon as possible using the included repair materials or by a professional repairer.
