One other thing if your kite gets rinsed in the shore break or is regularly ending up full of sand.
Ocassionally when deflating run your hand up between the leading edge and the canopy and remove any sand caught there.. Can wear the kite faster. PLus check if your tips wear from self launching on beach.. any holes patch them straight away ..
Excellent point .. And very often overlooked by most kiters. The sand and even shells that get wedged between the canopy and leading edge can very quickly wear through the canopy.
