Packing Up Gin Marabou 2 (or similar Single Skin/foil kite)

There's lots of methods out there for packing up your foil kite; I find this method of rolling the tips together and then throwing the bridles/pulleys across the center, towards the end of the folding, works well to keep everything clean and tangle-free for the next time you pull it out of the bag.
As long as you are doing gentle rolls/folds and not forcing sharp creases, you really do not have to be too concerned with causing deformation to the rods on these non-race kites. The rods are quite resilient and everything should straighten out when tensioned up in flight.

Clean pack up technique!

Thanks Chris! Yeah, works pretty well.

How do you pack this Hybrid kite, with the small stringers to form its shape, without damaging them?

[@coloradokitesports6671]

Packing The Marabou is like any other single skin kite that has stringers such as the Peak or Shaman. As long as you don't tightly pinch or crease the battens, they will spring back to their original shape just fine. I have had no issues.
