No surprise if you live there and kite for 6 months your kites suffer a lot. There the sun, the high winds, and no offence but there the riders skill also.
And what do 6 months really say? Its all about the hours of use. Canopy material has a certain UV lifespan.
Goodluck finding something better.
This is Cabrinha's warranty statement:

Do you see anywhere that using kites in Brazil does not apply to their warranty rules?
If their canopy material can't stand 6 months of kiting in good weather conditions than there should be only given less than 6 months warranty and not 1 year.
Am I wrong or do you see it differently?
What does Cabrinha has to say?

PS: Trust me, Australia's UV index is much higher...
