I was reading another thread about wings blowing up while inflating and it got me thinking about how to care for these things.
I have been rolling up the Naish lengthwise wet and leaving it in the tube-shaped bag. I have been stuffing the old 4 M without windows into its stuff bag and leaving it.
From the short bit I read that seems like a disaster in the making.
However Gong says don't rinse with chlorinated water... maybe sprinkle with Evian?

What are you all doing? Treat her like a baby or stuff and forget it.

I let them dry in the garden, my wings with Windows are put length wise in old wind sail bags so to not fold the pvc windows , no window wings are folded and but back in the bag they came with if they are big enough ! Never rinsed my kites either and never seen a problem with that.

Sprinkle with Evian? I can't tell if you are joking or not. Ride it, dry it and hide it, and don't fold the windows if you have any.

I hang mine to dry 100% . Mine are always in saltwater and I never rinse. I leave it hanging if I have the space, otherwise fold and put back in the bag.
I try not to have them in a hot car.
