The use of this product exposes the user to many unavoidable and unexpected risks, injury,
DANGERS and HAZARDS. The suppliers of this product are not responsible for any damage to
property or any personal injury caused by any use, misuse, abuse or irresponsible use of this
product by the user.
Kiteboarding is a HAZARDOUS sport. Power kites and their lines and control equipment can be
DANGEROUS to flyers and to anyone in the vicinity of their use. Kiteboarding must be taken
seriously and we recommend that, at least in the early stages of your use, you seek the guidance
of professional instructors and experienced kiteboarders. Improper and/or unreasonable use of
this kite may result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to ANY part of your body and to OTHERS. Do
NOT use your kite near power lines, airports, buildings, automobiles, trees, streets, parking lots,
rocks, piers, breakwaters, buoys, etc. and keep your kite fly lines away from people and ALL
obstacles. Always fly in an open area and observe wind and weather conditions, particularly in
circumstances where you may encounter offshore, onshore, variable or strong winds. Do NOT at-
tempt to use your kite on water until you are confident and comfortable with the use of a trainer
kite on land. Spend time to become familiar with the operation of your kite and remember that
you are responsible for its operation and for the security of those around you. As you learn the
sport, work within your own limitations and do NOT exceed them. If you intend to use the kite on
water, always use appropriate protective gears and flotation devices and do NOT attach yourself
or tie yourself permanently to the kite lines. The kite is NOT intended for use as a flying device
nor indeed is it intended as a means of flotation.

RECOMMENDED KITEBOARDING PRACTICE:
Kiteboarding is an extremely diverse sport, with many disciplines and ability
levels. As with all sports, there can be certain inherent risks. The following
contains key security points to remember when operating your Cabrinha kite.
• Kiteboarding is a HAZARDOUS activity and the use of Kiteboarding equipment involves the
risk of serious personal injury to any part of the user’s body, or death.
• Injuries are an INHERENT RISK of kiteboarding and the participation in kiteboarding
implies the user’s acceptance and assumption of those risks.
• Children should ALWAYS be under adult supervision.
• It is strongly recommended that beginners take lessons.
• ALWAYS inspect your equipment for signs of wear and tear each time before use, particularly
all lines, canopy, bladders, screws and fittings.
• If ANY products are found to show signs of wear & tear, STOP using the product immediately
and repair or replace before further use. If in doubt about any signs of wear & tear, please
contact your local vendor. Contact details are available from www.cabrinhakites.com
• NEVER place yourself in a situation where breakage of any one of the various kiteboarding
components would pose a risk to yourself or others, or make it difficult to return to the shore
securely & unassisted.
• Make sure you use properly designed and manufactured parts from reputable suppliers.
• Take time to study the conditions including sea state, tides, currents, weather conditions and
forecasts before you decide to go sailing. Beware of sailing in offshore, onshore, variable or
strong winds.
• Familiarize yourself with any new location before venturing onto the water. Ask the locals to
tell you about any hazards.
• Watch out for other beach users, especially swimmers and small children. Make sure you
keep your board and rig under control at all times and that they don’t get blown about on the
beach or in the water.
• Always use appropriate protective gear and flotation devices. Wear the correct protective
clothing for the conditions such as a wetsuit or a UV top.
• We STRONGLY recommend wearing a kiteboarding specific helmet
• Make sure someone knows where you’ve gone & when you are expected back – always sail
with a buddy.
• Be aware of the conditions as they change. ALWAYS return to the beach if there is a
significant change in the conditions. i.e. wind dropping or wind & waves increasing.
• As you learn the sport, work within your own limitations and do NOT exceed them.

tion and deflation of the kite.
SPRINT PINCH CLAMPS
Clips that prevent air transfer between the LE and the
struts.
B
BAR (unit) – A unit of pressure
• 1 bar = 14 PSI

BEAUFORT SCALE
A system for estimating wind strength based on the effects
wind has on the physical environment (e.g. the behavior
of waves, smoke, etc.). Instruments are not used to deter-
mine wind strengths in this point scale (O = calm to 12
= hurricane).
BODY DRAGGING
This is an instructional tactic / step in which the rider flies
the kite while in the water, but without the board. The rider
will launch, then walk to the water, and basically drag in the
water while practicing flying, re-launching and self-rescue
techniques.
BLADDER
The inner inflatable tube found within the leading edge and
the struts of the kite. (Imagine a bike-it has both a tire on the
outside and an inner tube which holds air).
BRIDLES
The lines that hang from the wing tips and leading edge of
the kite. The flying lines will be attached from the control
bar to these bridle lines in order to connect control bar
to kite.
Tow Points – The attachment points for the bridle.
BYPASS™ LEASH SYSTEM
A security leash feature that is recommended for all users.
This system incorporates QR2 which will separate the User
from the Kite if QR1 has been activated.
C

Usedtodepowerthekitebychangingtherelationshipbetween
the front and back line lengths. It is also used to position the
bar closer to the rider.
CONTROL BAR
The steering device the rider uses to steer the kite.
D
DE-POWER LINES
The two center flying lines that attach to the leading edge
bridles on the kite-one to the left wing tip, the other to the
right wing tip. These lines assist in de-powering the kite.
DOWNWIND
The direction in which the wind is traveling.
F
FLYING LINES
A term used to describe all four of the lines included with
your kite package. These lines connect the bridle lines on
the kite to the leader lines on the control bar and are typi-
cally 20-30 meters in length.
G
GUSTY WIND

wind strength to another.
GYBING
The motion in which the rider changes the direction of the
board he/she is riding. The rider switches from a starboard
tack to a port tack or vice versa.
H
HARNESS
A piece of equipment used to temporarily attach the rider
to the control bar harness line. This enables the rider to
save energy by utilizing their body weight and all of their
muscles to hang on to the kite. Most common are the waist
harness (attaches around the torso) and the seat harness
(attaches to the waist and around the legs).
I
INFLATABLE KITE
A kite with inflatable tubes designed to float the kite and to
facilitate water re-launchability.

K
KITEBOARDING
The term used to describe the sport of power kiting on
water or snow.
KITESURFING
Another term used to describe the sport of power kiting
on water.
KNOTS

1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour.
1 knot = 1.15 miles per hour.
1 knot = 1.85 kilometers per hour.
L
LANDING
The action which places the kite on the water or on land.
LAUNCHING
The motion in which the rider steers the kite from their part-
ner’s hands into the sky.
LEADER LINES

tach these lines to the flying lines in order to connect them
to your bar.
LEADING EDGE (LE)
The front inflated tube of your kite.
LEEWARD
The downwind side of the kiteboarder.
LOFTING
Lofting occurs when the kite is above the riders head in the
neutral position. Instability in the wind can cause sudden
vertical force and lift a rider off of their feet.
LUFF
A term used to describe what happens to the kite in a lull.
A term also used to describe the complete de-powering
of a kite.
LULL
A term used to describe wind when it lessens in strength,
for any amount of time.
M
MPH
Miles Per Hour. A measure of speed.
1 mph = 1.6 kilometers per hour.
N
NEUTRAL POSITION
This is the position just above the rider’s head in the sky. If
the rider levels out the bar, the kite will gravitate to the neu-
tral position. However, it is difficult and dangerous to keep
the kite in this position. Although in this position the kite
may feel steady and may feel like it has the least amount
of power or pull, it is also the position in which on land
the rider is most susceptible to lofting. On the water, the
neutral position can be utilized to rest while you reel in your
board, but on land, we strongly suggest you do not utilize
the neutral position. After launching, it is best to make your
way to the water without delay. Do NOT linger on land with
the kite in neutral position. It is VERY dangerous.
NEUTRAL ZONE
This is the area that includes the neutral position and the
area to the left and right of the rider. It encompasses the
most upwind or windward positions in which to fly the kite.
When flown here, the kite has less power or pull than when
it is in the power zone. However, use caution when the kite
is in this zone, especially when on land, and especially in
gusty wind conditions.
O
OFFSHORE
Wind is blowing from the shore directly or to a great extent
out to the water.
ONSHORE
Wind is blowing directly or to a great extent directly from
the water toward the land.
OVER-POWERED
A situation in which the rider has a kite too powerful for his/
her ability level, weight, strength, and/or wind conditions.
P
PLANING
The point in time in which the rider gets the board skimming
on the water.
POWER ZONE
This is the area in front and to the sides of the rider, but
excluding the neutral position and zones. It is the area in
which the kite has the most power and pull. When flown in
this area, the kite can be powerful and dangerous, so avoid
flying your kite in this zone when learning. Use extreme cau-
tion when flying the kite in this zone.
PUMP – Device used to inflate the kite.
