2. SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
If you are not yet able to kite or if you feel insecure, you must attend a licensed Kiteboarding school
to learn the basics of this fantastic sport. Get familiar with the safety precautions, which are
indispensable for safe Kiteboarding.
Kiteboarding creates a heavy strain on your body. You should only go Kiteboarding if you are in good
physical condition and suffer from no medical conditions that may prevent you from kiting. Always
act carefully to not endanger yourself or anyone else. Do not endanger the safety of uninvolved third
parties! Be aware of the risks you take and limit them to a minimum level!
Check that your Iron Heart and your safety leash are in good working order before and after using
them each time. To do this, release them as described in section 4, Functions, then reassemble
them.
Before going on the water make sure you are familiar with your DUOTONE equipment and memorise
how to use it properly. Correct handling cannot simply be learned in an emergency.
For your own safety, read the following instructions as well as product descriptions very carefully.
2.1. KITEBOARDING SAFETY
- Fly your Kite only over unobstructed water. Never on land!
- Fly this kite only if you are a strong swimmer and are wearing a Coast Guard approved PFD.
- Only use bars with a safety system that you can open in emergency situations.
- Use a quick-release kite leash so that you can unhook your body from the gear in case of an
unforeseeable emergency.
- Avoid power lines, telephone poles, airports, streets, buildings and trees.
- If you use a board that is leashed to your body, wear a helmet!
- Take into account the usual risks associated with water sports such as rocks, waves, sunburn,
hypothermia, jellyfish etc.
2.2. DANGERS FROM THE KITE
WHEN KITEBOARDING YOU MIGHT FACE THE EXTREME FORCES OF THE ELEMENTS.
In rare cases the kite or its lines can cause dangerous situations:
- You can hurt yourself through uncontrolled water take-offs caused by gusty
conditions, and the danger of collision with obstacles.
- The incorrect usage of lines creates a high risk of injury for yourself as well as others.
