3.3 Unique System 5th Line Release
Our main feature this year is a 5th line safety line directly connected to the speed system
at lower level. This system is totally new to the market and bring a new benchmark in
safety sytem for foil.
After releasing the kite will fold in half horizontaly and fall to the ground in a good posisiton
to launch again. Hold the safety line, re-activate the quick release, let go the safety line
and launch your kite.
NOTE:
Due to many external factors and the inherent dangers of snowkiting or landkiting, do
not rely on this release system to activate under all conditions. Kite within your
limitations and stay far away from dangerous obstacles.
It’s better to check twice and act once!! If things are connected wrong the kite can
respond improperly when launched which can be very dangerous.

3.2 Release System
Your IKON release system, is easy and safety. You have just to pull the red collar when
you are in a dangerous situation. When you use your IKON kite, for the first time, try the
release system. It's important, to feel it, and to know how it works, to use it rapidly when
it’s needed. Lastly, be careful to your release system, it have to be correctly closed before
each time you launch your kite. Moreover, take time to clean it with clear water after
each session, and ensure there is no sand or salt water could block the release.
