Cleaning Your Kiteboarding Equipment

Video Transcript

"Hello, I’m Francisco Escudero with Sky Banditz Kiteboarding here in Miami, Florida, if you want to learn more about kiteboarding go to www.skybanditz.com. We’ve disconnected our lines and we’re just finishing wrapping up our bar. The very important thing is to wrap it up in figure eight motions so you don’t continue to curl up your lines into like a dreadlock. Okay, we’re going to keep it here, line it up, remember to always rinse your bar and your lines, it’s very important for maintenance. Same thing you want to do with your board before every session or a very windy day you want to adjust all your nuts and bolts, make sure everything is in position. You want to rinse up your straps and make sure all your fins are screwed in the right way that they’re not rattling so you don’t have to deal with that out in the ocean. The other thing is with your canopy, you want to try and just keep it free of sand, if you want to rinse it with fresh water you can but you better let it dry all the way because if not it could get some mold in it. So now what we’re going to do is we’re going to just crumble our kite with our backs to the wind, we’re just going to grab here and just pop the out and we’re done."
