so tuesday at white bear it rained, and my kite was soaked. ive been told its not good to store them wet... what do you guys do? do you have an entire room dedicated to leaving them spread out to dry? or is storing them wet okay?

I just hang mine up on a shower rod in the bathroom which works pretty good for a small kite (4m^2). Not sure about the bigger ones though...

I use to dry my kites but I kinda stoped careing (to much of a hassel) but in the summer I let them dry before putting them away. my kites haven't goten moldy or ruined. If I had paid $1000 for each of my kites I might care a litle more...

Talking about wet kites, coming back from the crossing where I had let a number of people try various kites, I had a soaking wet 16,12,7,5,3.

I just spread them out on the floor. My other significant is not jumping up and down with joy, but they do dry out in a day.This is now the only reason I have to stay in a large house, when the kide move away from home. In the summer I have made a pulley arrangement in my garage where I can hang a kite up to dry. I use the pump leash loop, the front lines and bit of ropes to hang the kite.

Yeah...wish I had thought twice about where I was going to dry the kites BEFORE I went and finished off the basement...oh well..the kites get more use out of it than the rest of the family...below is a 12M, really looks sweet when the 20M is layed out.
