When the endline is secured,
the Quick Release can be reset
with both hands. Follow the inst-
ructions from the bar manual.
Let the Chicken Loop go and unwrap
the endline from the harness hook.
Make sure you have a good grip on the
endline as you hook in the Chicken Loop
and secure it with the Chickenstick.
Slowly release the endline bit by bit.
Make sure that it has not wrapped itself
around any part of your body. Do not
let the endline slip too quickly through
your fingers as to avoid getting burns or
cuts. Because of this, it is recommen-
ded that you let go of the entire endline
when you get to the last two meters.
Tip
: It can happen that the
kite can be tangled after
flagging out. If this cannot
be solved by pulling on the
steering lines, you can try
to solve the problem by flag-
ging out the kite again.
09 EMERGENCIES
In an emergency situation it is im-
portant not to panic, and to react
purposefully and goal orientated.
Should you get lifted on the
beach, do not steer the kite.
Wait until you touch ground
again and then immediately
activate the Quick Release.
The danger of getting lifted
can be minimized by not
flying the kite at the zenith
when on land. However, in
normal conditions, a Flysur-
fer kite will be at its most
stable in the zenith.
Especially in very gusty con-
ditions the kite can overfly
its pilot. This can be correc-
ted by powering up the kite
by pulling the bar towards
you or breaking with 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 towards the
pilot (e.g frontstall) it is a
good idea to activate the
Quick Release before it
opens again, as the kite can
develop a lot of power when
this happens.
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 effective pulls to
accelerate the kite.
