15 SAFETY NOTES
15.02 10 commandments for more safety when kiting
1. Never kite in unsuitable conditions such as storm fronts, lightning storms or offshore winds.
Check the weather and wind conditions carefully, choose the correct kite size.
2. Check the kite before every launch, including all parts. Never kite with weakened or
damaged equipment or tangled lines.
3. Do not jump in too shallow water.
4. Never modify the kite or bar unless recommended by Flysurfer.
5. Under load, lines are very dangerous. Never wrap lines around any part of your body.
6. Only kite if you are sure you are physically fit to do so. Never kite under the influence
of drugs or alcohol.
7. Check out the kiting spot beforehand. Make sure you are aware of any risks and dangers such
as obstacles, shallows, currents and bans. Also be aware if rescue craft can get to you in case of
an emergency. It is best to ask people (locals) who know the area well.
8. Keep a safety margin of at least two line-lengths downwind of you, and never kite near people or
obstacles. Kiting near powerlines, roads, airports, cliffs, etc. is extremely dangerous.
9. Make sure that someone is looking out for you and that help is there if you need it. Never go out
alone. Never kite further away from shore than you can swim back.
10. Do a test activation of your Quick Release before every launch. This will ensure the
system is working and reinforce the release instinct of the kiter.
