ENGLISH
To repair the canopy fabric of your kite, use self-adhesive spinnaker tape. You can find it at your
kitesurfing dealer or from sail makers. Before performing your repair, the fabric must be rinsed and
dry! Put the kite in a sheltered place on a hard surface, flat and clean: on a table or on the ground.
Cut a piece of self-adhesive spinnaker tape slightly larger than the size of your tear. Round the edges
of your spinnaker tape piece, to achieve better durability. Stick the piece of spinnaker tape on the
tear, rubbing gently to make it adhere firmly.
If the tear is too large (≥ 10 cm) or to close to an attachment point, contact your dealer who will give
you the address of a repair workshop.
Open the valve, then grab the downwind wingtip and fold your kite in two.
Roll it starting from the ends.
•
REGULARLY RINSE YOUR KITE, BRIDLE & PULLEYS, but remember: never store your kite
still wet, otherwise you may find traces of mildew the next time you get it out.
•
Do not leave your kite exposed to the sun:
in the long term the sun can damage the fabric and the bridle.
• When you are not using it, do not leave your kite flapping in the wind on the beach. Your
kite then becomes a real flag and in the long run, the fabric weakens. If you take a break,
put on enough sand so that the fabric no longer flaps, or fold it up.
• REGULARLY RINSE YOUR BAR & YOUR LINES. Let it soak in a basin.
• Regularly check the condition of your line connectors, your pre-lines on the bar side and
your lines. At the slightest sign of wear, change them. Pay particular attention to all areas of
friction, which are the lark’s head knots. Also take care that there is no knots in your lines,
as this weakens the lines locally and can lead to failure.

FOLDING YOUR KITE
MAINTENANCE
• Check that the bridle and the kite depower system are properly set up (no wrong routing).
• Check that the front lines & back lines of the bar are of the same length.
• Check the symmetry of the kite depower system.
• Check the symmetry of the bridle.
• Check that the top attachment points of the depower system are correctly aligned.
Grab and hold in position the attachment points A and C, i.e. fixed on a nail or held by another person (> 1 ).
Grasp the connectors of the front and back lines & adjust to tension the whole kite depower system (> 2 ).
Once everything is tight, check the position of attachment point B (> 3 ).
If B:
• Is aligned with A & C > no problem, and the kite can fly correctly.
• Is higher or lower than A & C > the behavior of the kite might be erratic and unpredictable.
In this case, it’s necessary to shorten or lengthen A1. To shorten, make an additional loop at the level of
the connection between A2, A1 and AB (>
4 ). To lengthen, remove any additional loop.
Connecting knots A, B & C can therefore be re-aligned and the kite becomes sound again.
If it’s not possible to adjust A1 correctly, the Kite Depower System should be replaced.
