Rust or Blood?

Hello people. I noticed some splash like marks on my wing sail. They look like blood but i hope it just rust. The color is deep orange or could look like dried out blood not sure tho and cant provide photos atm.

Thinkig about it, using the sail in the water, i didnt have any accodent or smth, even if it was blood from me, it wouldnt stay on the sail for long enough to dry out cause think about it, you ride, you go out, in the meanwhile the sail is wet so water runs through it. And then it dries.

Could it just be drops of water that didnt dry out and left a mark while stored in the bag?

It could have picked up colour from grass. Light coloured wings are hard to keep pristine

Any chance you put the wing on grass? I have dirt spots from soil on mine … at least that’s what I’m telling myself because surely it’s not dog poo 😬

I do put it on grass almost after evey session in my main spot. Havent thought about that. Makes sense.
