4. TAKE-OFF, FLIGHT
AND FLYING
TECHNIQUES
KEA 2 can be flown conventionally. However there are several
points listed below which should allow you to familiarize your-
self with your new paraglider more quickly.
Pre-flight Checks
• Check the sail for damage to surface, internal structure
(ribs, diagonals) and seams.
• Check that the lines are not damaged or tangled.
• Check that the quick links which connect the lines to the
risers are undamaged and tightened correctly.
• Check that the risers are not damaged or twisted.
• Check that the speed system works freely and that the
lines are long enough to ensure that the speed system is
not permanently activated on.
• Lastly, check that the brake handles are correctly attached
and that each line runs freely in its pulley.
4.1. Take-off
Lay the paraglider out with the leading edge in a horseshoe
shape. Hold the A risers close to the quick links and move for-
ward until the lines get stretched. You should now be perfectly
centered with your wing. With no wind or light headwind, with
lines stretched, KEA 2 inflates rapidly and rises over your head
with some dynamic steps. We recommend that you do not pull
the risers too far forward or down, which could cause a collapse
of the leading edge, but simply follow them until your glider
reaches its angle of flight. It is important that the gravity center
of your body stays in front of your feet during the rise of the
glider to constantly load the risers. A controlled inflation allows
you to check the wings and lines during the last phase as it
comes up and thus avoids the need to use brakes. Depending
