LAUNCHING WITH A PARTNER
1. Before launching, re-familiarize yourself with your Quick Release System in the event that you must engage them. Make
sure you have them properly set up.
2. Next, thoroughly check your lines, your gear, and your launching and landing sites; if all is okay, you are ready to launch
your kite.
3. Before you launch, organize a clearly defined release signal that you and your partner both understand.
4. (CROSSBOW CS) – Disengage the Override ball.
5. (POWERDRIVE CS) - Connect the Tap Out leash.
6. Next, engage the security pin.
7. Have your partner stand with the kite at 100° off of the wind.
8. Your partner should hold the kite in the middle of the leading edge, with the leading edge vertical and pointing into the
wind.
9. Your partner should stand behind the kite and not to the side or in front of the kite.
10. Also, your partner SHOULD NOT touch the bridle or flying lines.
11. With the control bar in your hands and at chest height, take a few steps back to take the slack out of the flying lines.
12. Signal your partner to let go of your kite. It is important that your partner lets you steer the kite out of his or her hands.
13. Your partner SHOULD NOT throw the kite into the air. Instruct him/her against doing this BEFORE you launch. When the
kite is thrown into the air, it hinders the ability of the kite to launch properly. When thrown, the kite may either launch too
abruptly and powerfully or it may not launch at all. It is a very dangerous way to launch.
14. Once your partner lets go of the kite, have him/her move upwind of you and out of your way.
15. SLOWLY steer the kite to the edge of the power window. DO NOT make any abrupt motions. The slower you steer the kite,
the more in control you will be.
16. With the kite at the edge of the power window and the wind at your back, walk slowly to the water’s edge, keeping in
constant check with the kite. You should know what the kite is doing at all times.
17. (CROSSBOW CS) If anything goes wrong with the launch, you should be ready to pust the control bar away to depower the
kite.
18. (POWERDRIVE CS)If anything goes wrong with the launch, you should be ready to utilize the Quick Release System with
TAP OUT.
19. WARNING: the more wind there is during your launch, the faster everything will happen. That is why it is important that
you launch the kite slowly.
20. (POWERDRIVE CS) When you are on the water and at an appropriate distance from any obstacles, you may disconnect the
TAP Out leash. This will disable the TAP OUT function. You must then manually shut down or de-power the kite by pulling
the release body in the direction of the kite.
21. (CROSSBOW CS) When you are an appropriate distance from any obstiacles, you may engage the override ball. You will
then need to use force to push the bar past the Override ball to immediately depower your kite.
WARNING
: the more wind there is during your launch, the faster everything will happen. That is why it is important that you
launch the kite slowly.
