Alasca-2

 Sky-Country team is grateful that you have chosen this Alasca-2 

kite! 

 We used the innovative technology in Alasca-2 to give you maxi-

mum joy of kiting. 

Alasca-2 is the entry level kite, designed specifically for train-

ing and freeriding. Alasca-2-5 will suit an experienced kiter as a 

storm kite.

This manual contains all the necessary information about how to 

use, keep and serve your kite. Study it attentively and if you have 

any questions, you can write us on our e-mail: 

[email protected] or ask a dealer of Sky-Country products.

Attention:

 Kiting is a potentially dangerous activity. That is why while purchasing this equipment 

you should understand all possible risks connected with kiting. While incorrect using of the 

equipment, these risks increase significantly. Neither the producer nor a dealer of Sky-Country 

products bear responsibility for injuries or damages occurred as a result of incorrect usage of 

this equipment. Before using this equipment the rider should adequately estimate the weather 

and meteorological conditions, kiting areas as well as choose all the necessary equipment to 

ensure a high level of safety. Do not raise the kite near serious obstacles, especially if they are 

situated downwind from you (trees, electricity transmission lines, highway, motor transport, 

people, animals, open water areas or thin ice, etc.).

 It is strictly forbidden to fix the kite firm to the rider without a possible fast release. Do not trust 

your kite to those, who did not obtain a qualified study. You should ride only in good known 

places (water openings, holes, other obstacles hidden under the snow represent serious danger. 

While kiting in the mountains ask the local emergency service about possible dangers at your rid-

ing area. Keep your equipment in a good condition. You should not ride alone. During the start 

pay attention that the stretched extenders do not injure other people, because a stretched line 

is a source of danger.

 Before using the Alasca you should get a riding course from an experienced instructor!
