Pop it in the washin machine or bleach

wash the sand off your feet and the salt off your skin and your right for another session. If your kites wet and your worried about packing it up dry, fly it arond to dry it.

I took my gear to a Car Lovers once.

for the tough stains boil it.

I have never washed my kite and look how it is now, o wait now i see the problem nah seriously washing it every session might give you an extra couple of hours on the water in the long run before its all over but if you ask me after a long hard sesh I can hardly be bothered packing up let alone washing it down, if you can be bothered go for it but do you seriously think it makes that much difference. Crashing it or leaving it flapping of the beach is much worse for your kite IMO than leaving it in a buckt of salt water all year

Those commercial dryers at the laundromat sure keept the mould away, set it on low and your wont even have to iron it.

thanx every one for your opinions... as i live on a beach of mainly wet sand.... and at the moment coral spawn every where ..it is a must to wash the stinking ocean out of it.
i likt the ironing option to make it crispier...
