2018 CONTROL SYSTEM USER MANUAL
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WIND, WATER, AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
• Do NOT under estimate the power of the wind.
• Be aware of unpredictable and changing weather conditions.
• Avoid “offshore” or “onshore” wind conditions.
• Avoid strong, gusty wind.
• Be careful of wave conditions, especially when learning.
• Be educated about tides and rip currents.
• Be mindful of your ability level. Do NOT kiteboard if conditions are beyond your ability level.
• Be educated about air and water temperatures and wear appropriate protection against the
elements.
• Do NOT use this product in thunderstorms.
• Consult an anemometer and weather stations to determine wind speeds if necessary.
• Do NOT use an oversized kite. Consult your Wind Range Chart for the correct recommended
size. Use your common sense. If in doubt about what kite size to use, choose smaller rather
than bigger.
• Make certain that you are physically capable of operating the security Quick Release (QR) and
1X devices provided with this kite. This kite and control system has been designed around a
typical rider weight of 40 to 110kg.
Riders with a weight greater than 110kg may need to use more force to operate the QR than
lighter riders. Increases in wind strength may also result in greater force being required to oper-
ate the QR. Be certain to seek the advice of a professional such as your Authorized Cabrinha
Dealer about the performance of the security systems in relation to body weight.
