Hi
NG
Make sure that the tips are not flapping too much. This can
lead to the bridle tangling. The tips can be additionally secured
with a bit of sand or other suitable object.
Open the deflate valves. A deflated kite will flap around on
the ground less.
Tip: We recommend packing the kite during a longer break and
storing it in your bag.
04 LAUNCHiNG
Please check not only the wind and weather conditions but also
all your equipment, especially the safety system before laun-
ching. Do not use any kite outside of its recommended upper
wind range. When launching in strong winds, we recommend
that you have an assistant holding you from the back of your
harness. During the launch, always pay attention that your bridle
lines do not get caught on anything or become tangled.
04.01 Self launching a Foilkite at
the edge of the wind window
Lay the kite out 90° to the wind. Fold over the windward
wingtip and secure it near the leading edge.
Pre-inflate the kite at least half way, for more control during
the launch. The kite should be positioned 15-30° downwind of
you when you slowly tension the lines for launch.
Walk upwind a bit as the kite inflates.
