The use of this product exposes the user to many unavoidable and unexpected
risks, dangers and hazards. The suppliers of this product are not responsible for
any damages to property or any personal injury caused by any use, misuse, abuse,
or irresponsible use of this product. Kiteboarding is an extreme sport. Power kites,
their lines and control equipment can be dangerous to flyers and to anyone in the
vicinity of their use. Kiteboarding must be taken seriously and we recommend
that, at least in the early stages of use, you seek the guidance of professional
instructors and experienced kiteboarders. Improper and/or unreasonable use of
this kite may result in serious injury or death to yourself and others. Do not use
your kite near power lines, airports or streets, and keep your kite flying lines away
from people and obstacles. Always fly in an open area, observe wind and weather
conditions, particularly in circumstances where you may encounter offshore,
onshore winds or strong winds. Do not attempt to use your kite on water until
you are confident and comfortable with the use of a trainer kite on land. Spend
time to become familiar with the operation of your kite and remember that you
are responsible for its operation and for safety of those around you. Never attach
yourself or tie yourself permanently to the kite lines. The kite is not intended for
use as a flying device nor indeed is it intended as a means of flotation.
