13. Frequent problems and their solutions
13.1. Fear of using the Safetysystem
Problem: Fear of the kite not being able to restart or malfunctioning.
Solution: FLYSURFER kites have a super safe Safetysystem, which enables the
kite to restart in any situation right away without any problems. Because of this,
FLYSURFER riders constantly use their Safetysystem, so they can (e.g. to take a
break on the beach, by simply unhooking). This increases the trust in this system and
also increases the probability of use in dangerous situations.
It is better to use the Safetysystem very often, rather than get into difficulties!
13.2. Kite flies backwards
Problem: The kite may fly backwards during low winds, too powerful steering
impulses, stiff posture and fully powered bar, or when the kite is wet.
Solution: Push the bar away from your body (depower). If that is not enough, also
pull the trimmer. The so-called depower range (from the depowerloop to the gust
absorber/trimmer) can be shortened by simply moving the knot at the trimmer.
This is very effective against back-stalls.
Generally, the kite shouldn’t be slowed down, which means it shouldn’t be powered
up too much, because this will slow down the flight too much and result in a decrease
of pressure. A fast flying kite builds up pressure more dynamically and has better lift.
If you want to eliminate the backstall of the SPEED, simply set the kite more to
HARD-STEERING.
13.3. Kite fills up with water
Problem: Kite is pulled under water, because the kiter fights against the pull of the
kite and/or against the wind.
Solution: Never pull on the bar if the kite is lying on the water, because this will
pump water into the kite. Never try to move the kite against the wind when it’s lying
on the water, instead let it pull you. Don’t try to pull the kite toward you using the
safety before attempting to relaunch, instead work your way toward the kite. Decide
which launching method to use (see manual) and observe the mentioned tricks. That
way, you will be able to start the kite quickly and safely in all conditions, even if water
has entered the kite.
