LESSONS FROM A PROPERLY CERTIFIED SCHOOL!

IMPORTANT NOTE
Read this manual thoroughly before using your new kite control bar. This is not a kiteboarding
instruction manual, nor does it eliminate the need for professional instruction in the sport of
traction kiting.
The user is therefore advised to obtain such instruction as well as familiarizing him or herself
with the information in this manual, prior to the use of the accompanying kite control bar and
line set.
