POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS:
DO NOT SET YOUR KITE FOR A
STRAIGHT DOWNWIND LAUNCH.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLANNING YOUR LAUNCH
• Choose an area where you have at least 100 meters of space from all obstacles to your
left and right and especially downwind of you.
• Set up your equipment so that your kite is downwind of where you will be launching, but
most importantly, so that it is at an angle off of the wind.
• DO NOT SET UP YOUR KITE FOR A STRAIGHT DOWNWIND LAUNCH! The kite will
launch with too much power and you will endanger the lives of yourself and those around
you if you launch in this manner.
• Basically, if the wind is at your back, and straight downwind is at a 180°, then you will
want to set your kite at about a 100° off the wind, either to the left or to the right of you.
• The more the kite is positioned into the wind when you launch, the less power it will have
when it goes up, and the easier your launch will be.
• Your partner will stand with the kite while you will stand 30 meters away at your control
bar.
• Make sure you launch slowly, and launch the kite at an angle, NOT STRAIGHT
DOWNWIND!
AREA OF OPERATION
This is the 100 meters of area with no obstacles to each side and downwind of the rider. Do not
launch your kite if you do not have this distance between yourself and other people, or obstructions.
