12.1. MulTIWaC-sYsTeM speeD3 (nOT aT speeD3 21.0) 
 

By easily pushing the so-called WAC-line between 
the hard- and soft steering flags the steering 
forces can be widely adjusted – from very soft to 
very hard. By  adjustment of the rings, the positi-
on on the bar, where the holding force and stee-
ring force increase (designated as the pressure 
point) changes. 
 
Adjust the ring by one centimeter, and the pressure point of the kite changes by two cm.  
Whichever is better, depends upon your personal preference. Most  kiters who have just 
started with a Flysurfer kite can become used to the harder setup more quickly, because 
they can better sense the pressure point More advanced riders may prefer  the softer ad-
justment, for example when wave riding, easier and steerable with a shorter path. Natural-
ly, the kite is more agile and less fatiguing. 

Colored markings on the lines give you a good orientation. Be careful to adjust the rings on 
both sides equally. The red mark is for Hard Steering Setup, blue is for Soft Steering and 
the black is middle position, with which the kite is delivered. 

12.2. aDJusTInG THe DepOWer TraVel

You can easily adjust the length of the Depower Rope for your arm length and your prefe-
rences. (see 3.1.1) 

Just adjust the position of the cross knot  below the Trimmer  in the desired direction. It is 
important that you adjust the upper knot on the Depower Leader Lines after; only this way 
will the length of the Flying Lines remain the same overall, as before the adjustment of the 
bowline knot. 

The trim of the INFINITY BAR may not be changed. 

After many hours of flight, the Depower Flying 
Lines (Front Lines) stretch from the higher 
load over the Steering Lines (Back Lines). In ex-
treme cases this can lead to your kite flying 
backwards too easily when pulling the Bar in 
(providing there is a lot of wind). In this case 
you can restore the optimal trim with the follo-
wing steps: 

• 

Compare the length of the Depower Flying Lines and Steering Lines (spread them out 
next to one another with a helper) and notate the difference. 

• 

To adjust open the bowline knot on the black Depower Leader Line above the Trimmer 
and adjust the length by the difference notated.
