Accessories for rough conditions

Today, as promised (Here), I´m going to give you some tips for preserve your kite against the elements that you can find in spots as La Loteta. These tips may also proof useful for many other kite locations that you will encounter anywhere.
This system will do serve for 3 purposes:

• Protect your kite mainly against mud, punctures, or other types of hazards. 
• Avoid that wind fly away your kite while you´re not paying attention. (Eg: high winds)
• The attaching system will help you out to pump and roll up your kite in heavy wind conditions (+30knots).

You will need the following:
a) Plastic canvas, mine 5 x 3,5 meters, 10€ (size will depend on the kite you will use.)
b) Camping stakes, a handful 6€ (Minimum 1 unit is required)
c) Climbing carabiner, mine is a bit oversized (had it at my home), between 4-5€.
d) Rope, 50 cms should be enough, 1€?

The camping stakes should be at least on the side that faces the wind (minimum), if you don´t have enough camping nails, stones will do.

Make 2 knots on each side of the rope, one for attaching the rope to the stake and the other attaching the carabiner. Then, insert a nail in the middle of the canvas (side that faces wind), and assemble.

Just one picture showing where do I attach the carabiner. It´s the loop where you attach the pumper leash.

More in detail

This one showing the final result.
Note that the kite is too big for this canvas. I just took advantage that I was taking some pictures of the kite (for selling it) to make the tutorial. The canvas is big enough for my smaller kites. ;-)

Hope this system proofs useful for you all.
