Kiteboarding is a HAZARDOUS sport. Power kites and their lines and control equipment can be DANGEROUS
to yers and to anyone in the vicinity of their use. Kiteboarding must be taken seriously and we recom-
mend 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 y lines
away from people and ALL obstacles. Always y in an open area and observe wind and weather conditions,
particularly in circumstances where you may encounter oshore, onshore, variable or strong winds. Do NOT
attempt to use your kite on water until you are condent 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 limita-
tions and do NOT exceed them. If you intend to use the kite on water, always use appropriate protective gears
and otation devices and do NOT attach yourself or tie yourself permanently to the kite lines. The kite is NOT
intended for use as a ying device nor indeed is it intended as a means of otation.

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.
