The kite is gathered up and falls from the sky without pres-
sure. This method is suitable for self-landing. Using the B-Safe
system offers the highest level of security!
08.03 Reactivating the kite
After triggering the Quick Release, it is possible to reassemble it
and start the kite again.
We recommend reading our Bar Safety Guide in detail!
Work your way up the safety endline until you get to the con-
trol bar. When you reach the bar, secure the endline to your har-
ness hook. Now the quick release can be reset with both hands.
Hook in the chickenloop and secure it with the chickendick.
Slowly release the endline bit by bit. Make sure that it has not
wrapped itself around any part of your body. Do not let the end-
line slip too quickly through your fingers to avoid getting burns
or cuts.
Tip:
It can happen that the kite tangles after flagging out. If this
cannot be solved by pulling on the steering lines, you can try to
solve the problem by flagging out the kite again.
09 EMERgENCiES
In an emergency situation it is important not to panic, and to
react purposefully and goal orientated.
Especially in very gusty conditions
the kite
can overfly
its pilot. This can be corrected
by powering up the kite by pulling the bar
towards you or pulling in the leader lines (red
and green). It is also possible to counter the
kite‘s overflying, or get it back into the wind
window by flying it back and forth.
Should the center of the kite collapse to-
wards the pilot (e.g frontstall) it is important
to activate the quick release before it opens
again, as the kite can develop a lot of power
when it opens again in the wind-window.
A
backwards
flying kite (backstall) can be
recovered by depowering (pushing the bar
towards the kite). In very light winds you
can grab hold of the adjuster and give short
effective pulls to accelerate the kite.
If one is in danger of drifting away from the
shore with an un-relaunchable kite, then
it may be prudent to abandon the kite and
swim back to shore if possible. Otherwise
it is wise to stay with your kite, as it will
make you easier to spot for rescuers.
Caution:
It is very easy to get caught up
in the bridle lines that are floating around.
Avoid unnecessary swimming movements.
A line knife in your harness is a very useful
tool in a worst case scenario.
