i have a situation and its kind of grinding my gears.

sand sticking to my kite....

when its not wet,
when the sands dry,
when the kite has not touched the water for hours,
when everyone else seems to be able to pack up literally or just about literally, sand free.

but i bring home just about a buckets worth of sand stuck to my kite almost every session, well... a small buckets worth, but with coastal erosion being the way it is, if this keeps up, i fear i may not have a beach to kite at by the end of the season...

static is the first thing that comes to mind

any thoughts, ideas or similar circumstances...?

moisture in air makes the material slightly damp? thats what i thought alongside the static idea...

i brush the sand AWAY from the kite not into it when i pack up

To get rid of the sand you might try rolling up your kite, each wing tip to the centre, and then stand it up on the trailing edge. Give it a bit of a tap to loosen any sand. A lot of the sand will fall out of the now kite tube. You can then fold it up and put it into the bag, relatively sand free. This works for me.

have a friggin winge and harden the f up!...
