hi can anyone help me? I was wondering whether anyone can give me tips on looking after my kite; what not to do, what to do when packing and unpacking
and also I was told that when flying if I crash I can burst pockets, what is that? and how do I check as I have crashed it once or twice 
. Are there any useful websites ? i would appreciate the help thanks

What kind of kite are you referring to? There are some all-kite applicable guidelines like don't pack it wet, dirty or covered in beer and some
kite-specific ones like don't crash hard (well, that kinda applies to all of them too). If you're worried you've burst anything let me tell you that
chances are if it was a good crash you'd likely know because the kite looks or flies different if at all. You could have a minor tear but really I've
done some nasty things to kites in my day and haven't blown anything (yet).
Gotta love the thud when a fully filled foil hits the ground at full tilt......
