01 SAFETy NOTES

Read the entire Gear Guide online

 thouroughly before using the kite, and strictly confirm to the procedures noted. T

he following 

safety guidelines are only guidelines and do not claim to cover every instance.

01.  Kitesurfing is a 

potentially dangerous sport

, that holds 

risks for the athlete or the people surrounding them

. Incorrect use of 

this product may result in 

serious injury or even death

 for the user or third parties. Every user should be qualified by a FLYSURFER 

kiteschool or a FLYSURFER dealer.

02.  The user carries the 

sole responsibility

 for themselves and third parties when using this product. The user must check their equip-

ment for wear, especially wearing parts, before each kite session. Do a test activation of your quick release before every launch. 
This will ensure the system is working and reinforces the release instinct of the kiter.

03.  The product may 

only be used with original spare parts

, and may not be modified.

04.  This product has been designed for riders weighing 50-110kg. We cannot guarantee the proper functioning of the product outside 

of this weight range. 

05.  Never kite in unsuitable conditions such as storm fronts, lightning, or offshore winds. Check the weather and wind conditions 

carefully and choose the according kite size.

06.  Check out the kiting spot beforehand. Make sure you are aware of any risks such as obstacles, shallows, currents and bans. Also 

be aware if a rescue craft can get to you in case of an emergency. It is always best to ask people (locals) who know the area well.

07.  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.

08.  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.

09.  The incorrect usage of lines creates a high risk of injury for yourself as well as others. Body parts that get caught in the lines of the 

kite may suffer from severe injury or burns.

10.  Only use bars with a safety system that you can open in emergency situations. Use a quick-release kite leash so that you can 

disconnect your body from the product in case of an unforeseeable emergency.

01.01  Do not fly with kites

A kite is not designed, tested or licensed as an aircraft or flying device. The use of a kite as a flying device is illegal and not covered 
by insurance. 

Flying

 with this product 

can lead to death!
