ESSENTIAL DO’S AND DON’TS
Flexifoil strongly recommend that you abide by ALL safety guidelines and conduct yourself in a safe manner at all times
Seek expert advice from a recognised Flexifoil Dealer, or take lessons from a fully qualified instructor BEFORE
undertaking any power and traction activities
NEVER fly your kite in conditions that are too extreme or winds that are too strong for your skill level or your
equipment i.e. ALWAYS learn to fly with a smaller kite in lighter winds before attempting to fly a larger or
more powerful kite in stronger winds
ALWAYS check your equipment for wear and tear before flying. DO NOT fly with worn or damaged equipment.
Repair or replace accordingly
Use EXTREME caution when using kite traction equipment as improper use of this equipment can cause serious
injury or death
ALWAYS select safe launching and landing areas free of people and obstacles. Disable your kite and lines on the
ground when not in use
ALWAYS maintain plenty of space around you in all directions, especially downwind. Traction kites can pull you
downwind for a considerable distance
NEVER attach yourself permanently to your kite or secure yourself to a fixed object whilst flying your kite
NEVER allow inexperienced kite flyers to use your equipment
Use appropriate SAFETY equipment i.e helmet, knee and elbow pads, protective eyewear, gloves etc.
Flying lines and bridles under tension can cut like a knife. Always keep your lines away from people and animals.
NEVER attempt to catch or hold a kite by the lines or bridle
DO NOT fly your kite near power lines, in storms, near airports, roads, railways, people or animals
Flexifoil kites CANNOT be used for paragliding or parascending
Remember, YOU are responsible for the safe operation of your kite and equipment at all times
