I just got my first bow (a 16) and i like it a lot already, but packing after session has been frustrating - any tips on how to package it quickly an small - My C kites (even 16) i can put away in 2 minutes and can pack them really small (folding in half and rolling up), but haven't been able to do the same with the bow because of the tapered leading edge and battens - any tips? thx

I use the "Sylvia" method. Tried and true.

Fold the corner such that the tip is pointing parrallel with the LE. Then gently fold sections, like a folding a flag, Same as rolling from each end but folding. it is quicker and makes it easy to fold up from the trailing edge such that it squeezes in the bag.
