Duotone Rebel D/LAB 2025

Maintaining your kite

• After use: Rinse the kite with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and dirt, and let it dry completely before packing it away. Salt and moisture break down the material and valves over time.
• Drying: Hang or lay the kite in the shade until the canopy and bladder are completely dry. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as UV rays wear down the material.
• Storage: Store the kite dry, clean, and loosely folded in a cool, dry place - never in a closed car or in direct sunlight. Never leave an inflated kite on the beach in the sun.
• Air pressure: Always inflate the kite to the recommended pressure of 10 psi. Too little pressure affects its flight characteristics, while too much pressure can strain the seams and bladder.
• Wear and damage: Regularly check the valves, bladders, breast lines, and pigtails for damage. Small holes and tears should be repaired immediately with a repair kit.
• Transport: Roll the kite up loosely instead of folding it sharply, and use the included bag - this protects the material and extends the kite's lifespan.
