1 - Untangle your Lines and Bridles before each session.
2 - Verify, systematically, the integrity of your Lines and Bridles. In signs of erosion or deterioration, replace your
Bridles in order to avoid breakage while navigating.
3 - Inspect the condition of your Kite. Repair any holes or tears and sew it quickly before the rip open.
4 - Secure your Kite on the beach always (hold it down with sand, or a bag of sand).
5 - Inflate your Kite adequately in a manner that makes it rigid, but use prudence to NOT overinflate it. The risk
of exploding your Kite is real, whether it be from a direct hit on a nosedive or being kinked or overheated
by the sun.
6 - Try to avoid rinsing your Kite with clean water. The Chlorine in treated water can alter the treatments of the
Kites fabric.
7 - Be sure to not let water or sand enter inside the Bladders.
8 - Let your Kite dry before folding and storing.
9 - When not riding, store your Kite correctly and not exposed to the sun or moon.
10 - When transporting an Inflated Kite, turn it over Extrado faced down and avoid dragging the Canopy and
Leading Edge on the ground.
11 - Always put your Kite on a clean, debris free surface where there are no seashells or sharp plants or rocks
present.

wings are traction Kites made for kitesurfing only. They are not toys, parachutes or paragliders.
If you want to practice Kitesurfing, you must first learn to do it properly and carefully with the help of a
qualified and
experienced instructor
.
Kitesurfing is a sport that is very demanding on the body. Be sure you have the physical conditioning that corresponds
with it and do not have any medical conditions that might impair you.
GONG
strongly advises you to subscribe to an insurance covering the practice of kitesurfing.
When navigating, remember to keep a
safe distance
from all obstacles as they could create serious or fatal injuries:
shorelines, trees, buildings, cars, power lines, objects in shallow water, your board or your bar, other kitesurfs, etc.
When practicing, keep aware of weather forecasts.
Avoid strong winds and do not navigate if there are gusts.
Never sail when the wind comes from the ground, and be extremely careful if the wind comes from the sea. The perfect
conditions for practice are a crosswind against the shore and steady with a force of 15-25 knots.
