IMPORTANT NOTICE
This is not a kiteboarding instruction manual!
Reading this manual does not eliminate the need for professional instruction in the
sport of traction kiting. The user is therefore advised to obtain such instruction in

manual prior to flying this or any other power traction kite. Competent instruction
may be obtained through an authorized Ocean Rodeo dealer or local professionally

approved materials only. Do not impair or remove any safety release systems.
The user of this product acknowledges both an understanding and an as-
sumption of the risk involved in kite powered sports.
