14 REPAiR & SPARE PARTS

Repairs can be done at either our workshop in the head office, or 
by a FLYSURFER sales partner who offers a repair service. High 
quality original spare parts for all our Flysurfer products can be 
ordered directly from our Online-Shop: 

shop.flysurfer.com

Reach into the closest air intake valve to get to the PMA. 

Pull it out through the outer opening. 

Adjust the PMA by moving the larks-head-knot.

Generally it is possible to shorten the PMA‘s by up to two knots, 
but one is okay for most users.

Tip: 

We recommend to adjust every second PMA first. Then test 

the kite and if still needed adjust each one.
