The Recon Security Leash & Relaunch System
(RECON)
is standard equipment on all of the 2004 & 2005 Cabrinha
inflatable kites. This patent pending system is both a unique security leash and a relaunch system, which allows the
rider to immediately turn off the power of the kite by activating the Recon's quick release handle. The same features that
de-power the kite also assist in quicker relaunching.
• Shut down the kite instantly by activating the Recon release handle.
• Water relaunch with ease.
• Spin the bar.
• All 2004 & 2005 Cabrinha kites must be used with Recon compatible control systems in order for the Recon's
IMMEDIATE DEPOWER™ feature to work properly.
• Furthermore, if a Recon compatible control bar is used with a kite that does not have the integrated Recon System
(e.g. a 2003 kite), it is dangerous to activate the Recon Release to de-power the kite. You may still use a Recon
control system on an older kite, but activating the Recon Release will actually power up the kite (not de-power it) on
a kite not equipped with the integrated Recon System.
• Using an older control bar system with the 2004 & 2005 Cabrinha kites will allow you to enable the relaunch feature
of the kite, but will not accommodate the IMMEDIATE DEPOWER™ feature.
• NOTE: We suggest that the Recon only be activated when considered necessary or when landing your kite.
• Before using the Recon, make sure your Recon system is set up correctly. It is important that you use the control bar
recommended for the kite.
• Before each session, check that the Recon is in working order.
• You should be familiar with the operation of the Recon in the event of a situation in which you wish to activate the
system. (see “TAP OUT™” & "TAP OUT™ (OPERATION)").
• Once the Recon is released, your kite will not fly until you manually reset the Recon on the center line.
(see “RESETTING THE RECON SYSTEM”).
