SELECTING KITE SIZE 

Many factors can affect your decision of which size of kite to use. Body weight, wind 
conditions, kiting ability, line length, board type and size, etc should all be considered. 
When in doubt ask someone who is capable or, if there is no one to ask, err on the 
side of caution with a smaller sized kite! 

SAFETY WARNING

Kite powered sports can be very dangerous and physically demanding. 
The user of this product should understand that participating in kite 
powered sports may involve serious injury or death and agrees to 
observe the following safety precautions:

• Get instruction specific to the type of kite  
  power craft. 
• Obtain first aid training and carry first aid 
  and safety / rescue devices. 
• Consult your physician prior to beginning 
  kite powered sports training. 
• Always wear a nationally approved 
  personal flotation device when using a 
  kite on water. 
• Always wear a helmet. 
• Dress appropriately for weather 
  conditions; cold water and/ or cold 
  weather can result in hypothermia. 
• Check your equipment prior to each use 
  for signs of wear or failure. 
• Never kite alone. 
• Do not kite in overpowered, gusty wind 
  conditions. 
• Do not kite in offshore wind conditions. 
• Before launching from an unfamiliar site 
  be aware of any dangers (rocks, reefs, 
  currents, changeable weather, etc). 
• Scout unfamiliar sites before launching. 
• Never launch from an area with any 
obstacles closer than 2 
  line lengths downwind (people, rocks, etc). 
• Do not kite near power lines! 
• Do not ask a non-kiter to assist in the 

  launching or landing of a kite. 
• Always use the kite with a functioning 
  safety system. 
• Always prevent kites from inadvertently 
  launching on land by weighting with sand, 
  gravel, etc. 
• Always announce when you are going to 
  launch your kite so people can be 
  prepared to move in the event of a gust or 
  a problem. 
• Disable an unattended kite by: removing 
  the lines, placing the kite leading edge 
  down, facing the wind; and weighting with 
  sand, gravel, etc. 
• Do not exceed your kiting ability. Be  
  honest with yourself.
