5. If necessary, attach the WAC Line again on
the desired Hard/Soft Steering Position.
6. Carry out the MIXER TEST on the second side
of your kite and proof the symmetry of both
Mixers.
Thanks to the “Mixer Test”, the flying characteri-
stics of the kite can be kept consistent over long
periods of time, and in extreme cases, can com-
pensate for the change to the kite.
If your kite is still too unstable despite a correct
Mixer Test and tips too easily over the leading ed-
ge, simply move the C-Level ring 2cm towards the
kite. This way, the C-Main shortens by 1 cm and
the B-Main automatically by 0,5 cm, maintaining an
optimal ratio. The profile is therefore bowed, which
creates more stability.
If your kite is stable enough, but the turning could be improved, push the C-Level ring to-
wards the Bar in 1 cm steps. If the kite should become too unstable (too much profile bow),
simply push the ring back. If the kite still does not fly optimally and has been flown more
than 50 hours, you can extend or shorten the B-Main by moving the ring a maximum of 2
cm, according to which makes the kite fly better.
The Spare Part Line is over-strengthened to a factor of five. Extremely worn-out Spare
Part Lines should be replaced with original, minimally pre-stretched DFL 200 Lines. You
can order these lines from www.flysurfer.com or from your dealer. A set of the Spare Part
Lines is included in your Repair Kit.
14.2. MaTerIal Care
Flysurfer kites are extremely UV- and saltwater resistant, as well as very tear resistant.
However for maximum durability a few things should be pointed out.
14.3. uV-lIGHT
Even though the fabric has been tested for UV-resistance, we advise not to expose the kite
to unnecessary UV-light. Over time the color of the fabric might change due to UV-radiation
and other effects.
14.4. salTWaTer
The material of our kites has also been saltwater-tested. However, the kite can still be
rinsed out with fresh water on the inside and outside from time to time (e.g. after a vacati-
on) and then allow it to dry in the shade.
14.5. sanD
Sand is relatively rounded, so it is not particularly harmful to the FS kite. Glass or other
sharp or abrasive objects found on the beach can cause severe damage. Sand which en-
ters the kite will work its way to the wingtips, and will be removed automatically from your
Flysurfer kites.
14.6. MOIsTure
If a kite is stored wet and in a warm environment, it is possible for mildew to develop. This
won’t damage the kite but leaves ugly, dark stains. In extreme circumstances it is possible
for the kite to rot. Moisture can cause discolorations of the fabric.
