Top kiteboarding manufacturers spend millions of dollars in research to provide us with precision built kites and kiteboards. It doesnt take much to keep a kite in perfect flying condition, but often we forget to do the required maintenance. We are usually in a hurry start our kiteboarding session or in too much of a rush while packing down to notice any knicks, tears or wear in our kites.
