10 EMERGENCiES
In an emergency situation it is important not to panic, and to
react purposefully and goal orientated.
Especially in very gusty conditions the kite
can overfly its pilot. This can be corrected
by powering up the kite by pulling the bar
towards you or pulling in the leader lines. It is
also possible to counter the kite‘s overflying,
or get it back into the wind window by flying
it back and forth.
Should the center of the kite collapse towards
the pilot (e.g frontstall) it is important to ac-
tivate the quick release before it opens again,
as the kite can develop a lot of power when it
opens again in the wind-window.
A backwards flying kite (backstall) can be
recovered by depowering (pushing the bar
towards the kite). In very light winds you can
grab hold of the adjuster and give short effec-
tive pulls to accelerate the kite.
If one is in danger of drifting away from the
shore with an un-relaunchable kite, then it
may be prudent to abandon the kite and swim
back to shore if possible. Otherwise it is wise
to stay with your kite, as it will make you ea-
sier to spot for rescuers.
Caution: It is very easy to get caught up in the
bridle lines that are floating around. Avoid un-
necessary swimming movements. A line knife
in your harness is a very useful tool in a worst
case scenario.
11 KiTE CARE
FLYSURFER kites stand for innovation, functionality, and high-
quality workmanship. Their lifespan can be increased signifi-
cantly with the right care.
Any discoloration of the sail can be attributed to environmen-
tal factors, mechanical stress, UV radiation, and soiling. Dis-
coloration does not affect flight characteristics.
Prevention
Store the kite in a dry state and do not leave it exposed to the
elements. Avoid strong UV radiation and flapping of the sail in
the wind.
Drying
To avoid mold stains, discoloration, or, in extreme cases, mold,
the kite must be packed dry. Staining generally does not affect
the kite in its function.
Rinsing
The kite should be rinsed with clean, fresh water after several
days of saltwater use. The use of cleaning agents damages the
coating of the kite fabric and voids the warranty.
Check
Check all kite parts for wear before each use. Material breakage
can lead to emergencies or injuries.
