If you get lifted up very high, keep the kite as still as possible and fully depowered (pull yellow
strap if necessary) in its zenith (leading edge facing the wind). Don’t panic! You actually have a
small paraglider on top of you and you will be able to control your flight
with gentle steering impulses.
The Quick Release has to be pulled immediately after touching down.
.. KIte “LUffING“ (dANGeR of fRoNtstALL)
If your kite over-flies (e.g. in gusty conditions), it is possible to get it back by either powering
up or steering it to the side. It may be possible to power up more by pulling the steering-
leader-lines, than by powering up with the bar. If you cannot prevent the kite from over-flying,
the kite may collapse. Your FLYSURFER kite is very stable, so this will rarely happen.
.. KIte CoLLApses
If the kite collapses, this is called front-stall or luff. Fortunately, you have a FLYSURFER kite
and you will notice this phenomenon more often when watching other kites.
Generally, if a kite luffs you can re-open it while falling. In case there are dangerous obstacles
downwind you should unhook and let go of the bar or pull the Quick Release, provided you use
the FDS as safety. Though hold on to the Quick Release, in case you have to let go of the kite
because of a dangerous obstacle. Make sure there are no persons downwind!
