I used to do the same as Janus, once folded in 1/3’s the kite goes into the bag, the bar gets washed under a tap and the strapped to the outside of the bag to dry. Now with a carbon bar I can forget the bar wash bit.
I do the same as airsail, bar outside, rinse, and dry. I also put my kite in a large plastic garbage bag and my bar in a smaller garbage bag:
- Cramming the kite in the backpack is less abrasive if the kite is in a plastic bag
- Pulling the kite out of the backpack is less abrasive if the kite is in a plastic bag
- Packing up the wet sandy bar in a bag it can stay separate from the kite
- Rinsing the bar/lines with the kite in a plastic bag it stays dry
- After the bar/lines are dry putting it in a bag reduces snags and tangles with the kite bridles
- Gearin' up outta garbage bags is ghetto beach cred
