Reading advert on buy and sell. Part of blurb was "Kite has always been stored upright in inflated condition". Does anyone else do this and if so why? Would it damage kite?

It is probably stolen and the thief doesnt know much about kiting

Its Hot for sure

but after being inflated upright for such a long time, the valves will have hardened & stretched so the kites insides are all fckd up by now.

tell him that then offer a can of XXXX in trade for his legendary efforts

Yeh its a great idea. It keeps its skin wrinkle free and silky smooth. Its just a bit of a bugger to get to the beach.

Is it a complete kit?

Wouldn't be interested unless I was certain the bar and lines had always been stored outstretched diagonnally like you're supposed to..
