IMPORTANT INFORMATION
KITEBOARDING is an extremely diverse sport, with many disciplines and ability levels. As with all sports, there are certain inherent
risks. The following contains key points to remember when operating your Cabrinha kite.
•
Be familiar with the set up and use of the supplied security systems: OVERRIDE™ 2 and the Harness Loop Quick Release
systems.
•
Make sure your Powerlock CS3 is rigged and used according to the supplied instructions.
•
Make sure your kite is compatible with the Powerlock CS3.
•
Always use your Cabrinha kite with a security system.
•
NEVER permanently attach yourself to this kite, the control bar, or lines.
•
NEVER use this kite as a flying device.
•
NEVER touch the kite lines while they are under tension; do not catch the kite using these lines.
•
When inflated but not in use, secure your kite with sand or with something heavy and non-abrasive; the more weight the
better (see “Kite Care” for more information). An inflatable power kite will still fly, even without a rider, so be mindful of
those around you and secure your kite. Your kite may cause serious injury or death if it launches unexpectedly.
•
Do not lend your gear to someone who has not been fully instructed on the use of inflatable kites. Other users should also
read this user’s manual and be proficient in all its points.
•
Check your gear before going on the water. Insure that your flying lines, sercurity systems, kite, board, etc. are all rigged
properly and are in working order.
