Can my Beamer go for a swim at the beach?

I was wondering.... tomorrow we go to the beach (first time) to fly the kites. Actually there isn't much beach area at all. The place I was thinking about has about 20 ft of beach but the right off the beach is a shallow (1ft) large, flat area where I thought we could stand in the water and fly the kites out over the water. Is there any reason I should not get the Sting II or the Beamer IV wet?

Odds are it won't relaunch. It will fill with water fast as air. Once it is wet it will feel / fly different but you can fly it dry.

If you are still crashing on a regular basis you are better off keeping it dry. At this point, for you 2 , it could be a bit of a buzz kill ?
