And like edt said - valves suck. When one goes, they all go.
When the tide is out we wind up our lines, then push a finger between the lines and bar, then use that hand to hold the kite upside down. Board under other arm. Walk up beach.
My brother will hold bar and lines with the board, but that requires effort which I am alleric to.
