2. Before folding the wing, it should be completely dry.

it is recommended to rinse it with fresh water, however do not rinse it too often.
4. Avoid leaving your wing on the beach in the sunlight and wind for prolonged periods.
UV rays as well as apping may harms the material.
5. Frequently check your wing for damage. If you nd damage, x it with the repair kit or
buy a professional wing repair.
6. Avoid storing your wing in closed warm areas for extended periods, such as a car on a
