FOLDING THE WING
•
Dry your wing thoroughly before folding it.
•
Once deflated, lay the leading edge flat with the
leading-edge seam facing up on a surface that
won't damage your wing.
•
Fold the leading edge into sections of
approximately 30 cm, starting from the wingtips
and working toward the center strut.
•
After folding both sides of your wing this way,
you can then fold the wing along the strut into 2
or 3 sections (depending on the size of your
wing).

CAUTION: IF YOUR WING IS EQUIPPED WITH
RIGID HANDLES, WE RECOMMEND REMOVING
THE HANDLES BEFORE FOLDING YOUR WING.
Friction from the handles can damage the fabric
of your wing.
If you choose to leave the handles attached,
make sure to fold your wing with the handles
facing outward to avoid damaging the fabric.
