08 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 to-
wards you or pulling in the leader lines (red
and green). 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 to-
wards the pilot (e.g frontstall) it is important
to activate 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 ef-
fective 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 easier to spot for rescuers.
Caution:
It is very easy to get caught up
in the bridle lines that are floating around.
Avoid unnecessary swimming movements.
A line knife in your harness is a very useful
tool in a worst case scenario.
09 PACKiNG UP
A FLYSURFER kite can be packed into its bag very quickly. It is
important that the bridle is securely packed inside the kite and
the bar never gets into or goes through the bridle lines.
Wind the lines round the bar until you get to the mixer. Se-
cure the lines with the elastics or a half hitch. Keep hold of the
bar, or put it down somewhere out of the way of the bridle lines.
Fold the kite in half along the middle (tip on tip) and make
sure that the bridle is inside both halves. Also make sure that
there are no bridle lines over the outside skin.
Tip:
If you do not want to roll a wet bar into your kite, there is a
method to attach the bar to the outside of the bag. Fold the kite
in the middle (tip on tip) and then roll up the kite, including the
bridle, and put it into the bag. Then roll up the bar and attach it
to the outside of the kitebag.
Lay the bar on-top of the kite and a bit away from the tips.
