your flying line length.

•  Never fly kites or use this product in thunderstorms, lightning or gusty/stormy 

winds.

Safe traction kiting:
•  A traction kite is not a toy and should not be flown by inexperienced persons 

and certainly not by children.

•  We strongly recommend the use of helmet and life jacket/impact vest. A safety 

knife to cut flying lines in case of emergency is recommended.

•  Do not kiteboard in spots already in use by swimmers or surfers.
•  Beware of strong currents and sharks.
•  Stay safely away from other watercrafts and shipping lanes.
•  Never go further out to sea than you can safely swim back.
