Thanks Tom. Beginners need all the good advice they can get!

[@dylankoomen1063]

Great Tips!!! Thx alot! 🤙

Worth mentioning that we should avoid storing our kites in sheds and garages because the pesky mice like to make nests with the kite material. Also, I have found storing my kites in my loft exposes them to harmful extremes of hot and cold temperatures. So, where to store my kites? They’re with me in my bedroom!

[@denizsogutlu2070]

Same here! I’m using an 2 m long cardboard box in which I rest the kite. Without folding it into 3 (as you’d to carry it in the bag) So for those weeks / months that I don’t use it the fabric is only rolled across and not bent at all. Just feels better knowing that the kite fabric is a little more relaxed!

@@denizsogutlu2070 Thanks, good thinking. I’ll fold my kites in two instead of three and change the fold regularly. I don’t have the space not to fold them at all. But thanks again for your tip.

Other people say “don’t , whatever you do, wash your kite in fresh water …”. Conflicted advice

[@djikan]

outdated advice. Salt water is less harmfull

[@jimmyjames1411]

I wash mine and really the main reason is so my wife doesn’t bitch in the event the kite breaks and asks “why don’t you take care of your crap!?
