SAFETY NOTES
02 SAFETY NOTES
Read the entire online user manual thouroughly before using the product, and strictly confirm to the procedures noted. The
following safety guidelines are only guidelines and do not claim to cover every instance.
01. Kitesurfing is a potentially dangerous sport, that holds risks for the athlete or the people surrounding them. Incorrect use
of this product may result in serious injury or even death for the user or third parties. Every user should be qualified by a
FLYSURFER kiteschool or a FLYSURFER dealer.
02. The user carries the sole responsibility for themselves and third parties when using this product. The user must check their
equipment for wear, especially wearing parts, before each kite session. Do a test activation of your quick release before every
launch. This will ensure the system is working and reinforces the release instinct of the kiter.
03. The product may only be used with original spare parts, and may not be modified.
04. This product has been designed for riders weighing 40-120kg. We cannot guarantee the proper functioning of the product outside
of this weight range.
05. Never kite in unsuitable conditions such as storm fronts, lightning, or oshore winds. Check the weather and wind conditions
carefully and choose the according kite size.
06. Check out the kiting spot beforehand. Make sure you are aware of any risks and dangers such as obstacles, shallows, currents
and bans. Also be aware if a rescue craft can get to you in case of an emergency. It is always best to ask people (locals) who
know the area well.
07. Keep a safety margin of at least two line-lengths downwind of you, and never kite near people or obstacles. Kiting near powerlines,
roads, airports, clis, etc. is extremely dangerous.
08. Make sure that someone is looking out for you and that help is there if you need it. Never go out alone. Never kite further away
from shore than you can swim back.
09. The incorrect usage of lines creates a high risk of injury for yourself as well as others. Body parts that get caught in the lines of
the kite may suer from severe injury or burns.
10. Only use bars with a safety system that you can open in emergency situations. Use a quick-release kite leash so that you can
disconnect your body from the product in case of an unforeseeable emergency.
02.01 Do not fly with kites
A kite is not designed, tested or licensed as an aircraft or flying device. The use of a kite as a flying device is illegal and not covered
by insurance. Flying with this product can lead to death!

OVERVIEW OF THE KITE
03 OVERVIEW OF THE KITE

OVERVIEW OF THE KITE
TX-Light Hybrid Concept
The HYBRID is the ingenious fusion of two foil-kite constructions: It combines the depower and stability of a single skin with the
water launch ability, control, and handling of a double skin. The sailcloths feature UV-resistant fabrics, airtight coatings, and hyd-
rophobic properties to improve airflow when wet. The TX-Light is resistant to aging and tearing, and impresses with its high tensile
strenght at only 33g/m². The DLX+ weighs 44g/m² and protects the leading edge from abrasion and sharp-edged objects.
Performance Tuner
The performance tuner is a knot ladder integrated into the C-pulley line to modify the camber of the kite. Moving the Z-Main Line
aects the bar forces and performance of the kite. Shortening increases low-end power and steering/holding forces. Lengthening
does the opposite, decreasing maximum power, and steering/holding power.
FLS Safety System
After the activation of the quick-release system, the kite‘s power flags out on a single front line attached to the opposite side of its
leading edge. When sorting the bridle lines, note that the cross-main line runs to the other side of the leading edge. This is required
to ensure minimum pull of the HYBRID kite due to its low aspect ratio.
Automatic Drainage System
The Automatic Drainage System hides in the internal construction of our closed-cell foil kites. Dirt, water and small objects that got
inside the kite slide automatically from the middle section to the wingtips. They exit the kite through two big holes at the trailing
edge of the wingtips.
High Pressure Air Intake
The air intakes are integrated into the leading edge and ensure the optimal dynamic pressure in our foil kites. After the foil kite is
filled with air, the walls of the air intake are automatically pressed together. The self-deflating is prevented, and the kite holds its
wing shape.
Velcro Fasterner Deflation Valve
We rely on a deflation valve with velcro fastener. It‘s in the middle of the hybrid kite. Warning prints are attached to the pull-out cloth
section; you can visually check the valve is closed.

HANDLING
04 HANDLING
A kite needs to be secured properly even if
the wind is light. A runaway kite can be a
serious danger to people or animals down-
wind. To ensure a long lifespan of your kite,
we recommend that you do not leave the kite
flapping in the wind and sun for long periods.
04.01 Setting Up a Hybrid Kite
Lay the kite out on a surface free of hard or sharp objects.
Unroll your kite upside down into the wind and secure it with
something that has no sharp edges and is heavy enough to hold
down the kite for the given wind.
Open the kite and close (if necessary) the deflation valve.
Place the bar far enough away from all bridle lines on the
trailing edge side of the kite. Make sure that the bar cannot fall
or be pulled into the bridles.
Check your bridle for tangles. Make sure that none of the
lines are caught around the back of the kite.
Start at the leading edge holding up the front lines to visu-
ally check the bridle step by step.
When the bridle is sorted out, lay the front lines to the inside
and the steering lines to the outside. If not, follow the tips on the
“Sorting out the bridle“ chapter.
Ensure your flying lines are connected correctly and clear of
any potential hazards. Check for any damage or knots.

ENGLISH
9
HANDLING
Lightly tension up the bridle again to check it. If necessary,
repeat the last step till the left and right bridles are separated.
Unroll the lines from the bar and check as before.
04.03 Securing a Hybrid Kite
Fold your kite in the middle and let the tips flow out down-
wind. The bottom sail and the bridle will be facing inwards.
Weigh down the kite in the front third of the top sail. This method
prevents the tips from flapping in the wind. Opening the deflate
valve(s) can also help.
Tip:
The kite can also be secured using the same method as
the launch. However, it has been proven that the above method
keeps the kite more still in higher winds.
Make sure that the tips are not flapping too much. This can
lead to the bridle tangling. The tips can be additionally secured
with a bit of sand or other suitable object.
If the lines are still twisted, untwist them by turning the bar.
It may be possible (especially after not being careful when pa-
cking away or setting up the kite) that the bar has to be pushed
through the lines again to untwist.
04.02 Sorting the bridle
Even a badly tangled bridle can be quickly sorted out with the
right technique.
Roll up your lines onto the bar until you get close to the mi-
xer and secure the lines with a half hitch and/or the bungie cord.
If necessary, undo loops, knots, or balls of balls. Most loops
can be loosened by pushing the bar through along the line.

ENGLISH
10
LAUNCHING
Release the kite from the sand or object securing it with a
step backwards away from the kite and carefully steer it.
Tip:
You can prevent the lines getting caught around the bot-
tom wingtip by folding over the tip once more and securing the
second fold with e.g. sand.
05.02 Edge of the wind window with an assistant
It is important that your assistant is experienced with this tech-
nique and you have explained them how it‘s done.
Position kite and assistant exactly on the edge of the window.
The assistant begins from the center of the kite with the
leading edge (LE) into the wind. As the kite shapes its form, the
assistant slowly works his hands down the leading edge until
the kite is fully opened and lets the kite rise up. The bottom tip
should not be touching the ground anymore.
05 LAUNCHING
Please check not only the wind and weather conditions, but also
all your equipment, especially the safety system before launching.
Do not use any kite outside of its recommended upper wind range.
When launching in strong winds, we recommend that you have an
assistant holding you from the back of your harness. During laun-
ching, always pay attention that your brilde lines do not get caught
on anything or become tangled.
05.01 Self launching at the edge
of the wind window
Lay the kite out 90° to the wind. Fold over the windward
wingtip and secure it near the leading edge.
The kite should be positioned 15-30° downwind of you when
you slowly tension the lines for launch.
Pay attention that the downwind wingtip does not fold over
upwind.

ENGLISH
11
LAUNCHING
Put the flying lines under tension so that the kite rises slow-
ly. Take another step to windward to release the weight from the
trailing edge of the kite.
Depower the kite until it reaches the zenith.
As soon as the kite is inflated and you are ready, give the
assistant the thumbs up signal that he can let go. Make sure to
once again check whether all lines run freely before doing this.
Note:
Get aligned with the wind, the assistant retains his posi-
tion and is not moving around.
05.03 Powerzone
Important: Only start a kite in the power zone in light wind,
otherwise it can develop large forces/power spikes. Always
keep a large safety distance downwind of yourself.
After setting up the kite in the power zone make sure to
weigh the trailing edge with suitable objects or sucient sand
or snow.

ENGLISH
12
RELAUNCH
06 RELAUNCH
Specifics of relaunching
Two eective methods can be used to relaunch the HYBRID. If
the kite crashes at the edge of the wind window, pull both stee-
ring lines so the single-skin section catches wind. Let the kite
wander toward the power zone. Then release it from the surface
using any steering line.
Prevention of water entry through the air inlet valve _
If the kite sits with the leading edge on the water, avoid wal-
king or swimming backward (upwind) to prevent water from
entering air inlet valve. Do not swim or walk towards the kite
(downwind) to avoid inverting. Use the steering lines to bring
the HYBRID back into position.
06.01 Reverse Launch
Grab the leader lines above the floaters as high up as you can.
Make sure that the bar is the right way up. Do not cross over your
hands.
Pull in both leader-lines as far towards yourself as possible
to reverse the kite o the ground. Strong pulls or pumping the
lines may help in light winds. If the kite does not release from
the ground, grab the leader lines higher up.
When the kite is at least one wingspan above the ground,
let go of one of the leader lines. Make sure you keep hold of the
other one and the bar is in the right position.
The kite will now spin around. As soon as the leading edge
of the kite points up let go of the remaining leader line and put
your hand back on the bar. Depower the kite till its back in the
sky towards the zenith.
Tip:
The reverse launch is the recommended relaunch method
when kiting on solid terrain. This minimises potential damage
from abrasion.

ENGLISH
13
LANDING
07 LANDING
07.01 Landing with an assistant
The easiest and safest way to land your kite is with the help of
an assistant. Signal a trained assistant that you want to land. The
assistant should be standing well upwind of the kite.
Lower the kite towards the assistant along the edge of the
wind window.
The assistant can now approach the kite and grab hold of the
leading edge of the kite.
Warning:
The assistant should
never grab any lines.
06.02 One Line Relaunch
Grab one steering line high above the floater. Pull back the
line far enough towards you so that the kite starts to peel to the
side you are pulling. Keep pulling until the kite launches at the
edge of the wind window.
If the kite does not lift up and peel to one side when pulling the
leader line, try pulling the opposite leader instead. If this still
does not work, then use the reverse launch method.
Let go of the steering line as soon as the leading edge of the
kite points up. Grab the bar and keep it depowered until the kite
is flying again.

ENGLISH
14
LANDING
As soon as the assistant has the kite securely in their hands,
walk towards them until all flying lines are no longer under ten-
sion. This way the kite will flag out downwind of the assistant.
Secure the kite as described in “Securing the Kite“.
07.02 Landing without an assistant
at the side of the wind window
Warning: Keep at least two line-lengths
safety distance downwind. We generally
recommend landing with the help of an as-
sistant. Landing the kite by backstall should
only be attempted in light winds.
Fly down the kite on the edge of the wind window.
Steer the kite down hard so that the kite collapses on the
ground.
Go quickly toward the kite until it comes to rest entirely on
the ground.
Secure the kite as described in “Securing the Kite“.

ENGLISH
15
SAFETY SYSTEM
08 SAFETY SYSTEM
08.01 Frontline Safety (FLS)
All HYBRID kites operate on a Frontline Safety System (FLS). We
recommend using of FLYSURFER Control Bars to ensure the func-
tionality of the Frontline Safety System.
After triggering the quick release, the Control Bar moves up
to the stopper knot.
The kite flags out along the FLS-Line.
08.02 Reactivating the kite
After triggering the Quick Release, it is possible to reassemble it
and start the kite again.
We recommend reading our Bar Safety Guide in detail!
Work your way up the safety endline until you get to the con-
trol bar. When you reach the bar, secure the endline to your har-
ness hook. Now the quick release can be reset with both hands.
Hook in the chickenloop and secure it with the chickendick.
Slowly release the endline bit by bit. Make sure that it has not
wrapped itself around any part of your body. Do not let the end-
line slip too quickly through your fingers to avoid getting burns
or cuts.
Tip:
It can happen that the kite tangles after flagging out. If this
cannot be solved by pulling on the steering lines, you can try to
solve the problem by flagging out the kite again.

EMERGENCIES
10 PACKING UP
A FLYSURFER kite is quickly packed. Make sure that the bridle
lines are stored securely inside the kite and the control bar does
not get caught between them.
Wind the lines round the bar until you get to the mixer. Se-
cure the lines with the elastics or a half hitch. Keep hold of the
bar, or put it down somewhere out of the way of the bridle lines.
Fold the kite in half along the middle (tip on tip) and make
sure that the bridle is inside both halves. Also make sure that
there are no bridle lines over the outside skin.
Tip:
If you do not want to roll a wet bar into your kite, there is a
method to attach the bar to the outside of the bag. Fold the kite
in the middle (tip on tip) and then roll up the kite, including the
bridle, and put it into the bag. Then roll up the bar and attach it
to the outside of the kitebag.
Lay the bar on-top of the kite and a bit away from the tips.
09 EMERGENCIES
In an emergency situation it is important not to panic, and to
react purposefully and goal orientated.
Especially in very gusty conditions the kite
can overfly its pilot. This can be corrected
by powering up the kite by pulling the bar
towards you or pulling in the leader lines (red
and green). It is also possible to counter the
kite‘s overflying, or get it back into the wind
window by flying it back and forth.
Should the center of the kite collapse to-
wards the pilot (e.g frontstall) it is important
to activate the quick release before it opens
again, as the kite can develop a lot of power
when it opens again in the wind-window.
A backwards flying kite (backstall) can be
recovered by depowering (pushing the bar
towards the kite). In very light winds you
can grab hold of the adjuster and give short
eective pulls to accelerate the kite.
If one is in danger of drifting away from the
shore with an un-relaunchable kite, then
it may be prudent to abandon the kite and
swim back to shore if possible. Otherwise
it is wise to stay with your kite, as it will
make you easier to spot for rescuers.
Caution: It is very easy to get caught up
in the bridle lines that are floating around.
Avoid unnecessary swimming movements.
A line knife in your harness is a very useful
tool in a worst case scenario.

ENGLISH
17
KITE CARE
Lay the bridle lines in between the folded kite.
Roll up the kite around the bar. Make sure that no sharp ob-
jects on the beach damage the cloth.
11 KITE CARE
FLYSURFER kites are very durable and very UV and saltwater re-
sistant. With proper care, your kite may last even longer. Even-
tual color changes of the cloth can be caused by environmental
causes, UV-exposure, mechanical strain as well as it getting dir-
ty. A color change has no influence on the flight characteristics
whatsoever and is not covered by warranty.
Do not leave the kite exposed to the elements.
People who pack away their kite right after a session, or for a
longer break, will minimise the amount of time the material is
exposed to the sun and flapping in the wind, extending the “acti-
ve“ lifespan of their kite.
Drying
If a kite is packed away wet and left for a long period of time it
can develop ugly mildew spots, rust on the metal parts or color
bleeding of the cloth. This does not eect how the kite performs,
but will reduce the value of your kite. In extreme cases the kite
may get mouldy. To dry, simply continue to fly the kite until the
canopy is dry.
Rinsing
Rinse your kite from time to time with clear water, after using
it in salt water, and leave it to dry in the shade. Do not use any
detergents. The warranty will be void after the use of detergents
on the cloth.
Check
Check all parts of the kite before each use. Especially parts that
can wear out. Material failure on those parts can lead to further
damages, or put the kiter at risk.

ENGLISH
18
MAINTENANCE
12 MAINTENANCE
The main parts that wear on the kites are the Depower Line, the
Safety Endline (see the bar manual), as well as the Pulley Li-
nes, and the pulleys. Depending on your use, the flying lines and
other parts will need to be replaced within the lifespan of your
kite. If you do not service these parts, it can damage the kite and
void the warranty.
12.01 Replacing the Pulleylines and Pulleys
The Pulleylines are the grey lines that run through the pulley
system known as the mixer. The Pulleylines should be replaced
before the sleeving could tear or fray (approx. 100 h). The pul-
leys should be changed after about 250 hours of use.
Tip:
Always replace only one side at a time and use the other
side as a template of how the mixer should look like.
Lay out the kite and sort out the bridles. Make sure that the
lines do not get crossed or mixed up throughout the whole pro-
cedure.
Disconnect the front and steering lines on one side. Dis-
connect the Front-Main and Back-Main lines at the mixer. Pull
the old Pulley Lines out of the pulley. Always replace both lines
(after approx. 100 h).
Attention: When replacing a pulley (after
250h of use), focus is needed.
Scan the QR code to get to the video tutorial.
Open the lark‘s head that sits at the knot above the pulley on
the C-Main. Pass the pulley through the loop.
Replace the pulley and feed the line through the new pulley.
Form a lark‘s head knot.
Pass the pulley through the loop.
Slip the loop over the knot and tighten the larks head knot
Loosen the connection between the orange and gray bridle
lines and the black B-Main. Slide the loosened thin lines toward
the pulley. Pass the pulley through the loop of the black B-Main.
The pulley is now free.
Detach the black B-Main Line from the pulley. Replace the
pulley. Pass the black B-Main Line through the pulley hole from
both sides.

ENGLISH
19
MAINTENANCE
Take the orange Z-Main and connect it with a lark‘s head
below the middle knot at the C-Pulleyline.
Reconnect the orange Back-Main to the end of the C-Pulley-
line. Loop the Front-Main in the correct order as shown in the
picture.
Tighten all connections and repeat the process on the other side.
We recommend always changing the Pulley Lines on both sides.
Warning:
After replacing the Pulleylines, do the bridle check.
12.02 Little Connection Lines
The “Little Connection Line“ (LCL) allows you to quickly exchange
a bridle line and also works as a predetermined overload weak
point that prevents the canopy from getting damaged. Should
an LCL break, replace it with new one, in the same colour (same
breaking strength) LCL.
Widen both spliced loops at the line ends. Slip one end of the
line over one finger. Place the large loop over it. Take the second
end of the line and put it over the finger as well.
Take the orange bridle line first, then the gray bridle line,
and pull them both up to the middle of the black B-Main. Feed
the pulley through all the loops of the black B-Main. Make sure
you do it in the correct order!
Sort the black B-Main and pull the orange and gray bridle
lines tight. Both lines should be tightened properly.
Take the gray B-Pulleyline first and feed it through the pul-
ley. Form a lark‘s head and slip it over the C-Pulley. Tighten the
lark‘s head below the knot on the black C-Pulleyline.
Take the gray C-Pulleyline with the knot ladder and pass it
through the C-Pulley.

ENGLISH
20
TRIMMING
Moving the Z-Main Line on the knot ladder towards the kite:
Lengthening the line softens control bar forces and reduces
backstall. This trim variant allows the kite to fly further toward
the edge of the wind window. We recommend it in the upper wind
range.
Moving the Z-Main Line at the knot ladder towards the control
bar: Shortening the line increases control bar forces and the kite
is more cambered. This trim variant allows the brakes to engage
earlier and improves the responsiveness of the kite. We recom-
mend them in combination with twin tips or for wave riding.
13.02 Optimum trim of the flying lines
Steering (back) lines shorten over time in relation to the flying
(front) lines. Underneath the floaters, the back line can be shor-
tened or extended by using knots. Extension of the back lines is
necessary when the trimmer needs to be pulled in too much to
keep the kite flying normally in its intended wind range. (back-
stall tendency).
14 REPAIR & SPARE PARTS
Repairs can be done at either our workshop in the head oce,
or by a Flysurfer sales partner who oers a repair service. High
quality original spare parts for all our FLYSURFER products can
be ordered directly from our Online-Shop: shop.flysurfer.com
12.03 Repairing the Cloth
In case you get a small tear (e.g. through contact with a sharp
object) we have included a repair kit with your kite. The area
that needs to be repaired must be clean, dry and grease-free.
Temporary repairs are possible with spinnaker repair tape, but
the tear should be taped from the inside of the kite. It is recom-
mended that you round o the edges of the repair tape. A spe-
cial binding agent (silicone sealing compound) for the X-Light
Cloth is available through Flysurfer sales partners or directly at
FLYSURFER. A repair manual is included with the binding agent.
There is the possibility to have a professional repair done by us.
We can exchange whole parts of the canopy, so that there will be
no trace of the damage.
Tip:
When a tear is close to a seam (less than 5cm), we recom-
mend using sewing to repair the damaged area.
13 TRIMMING
As all lines change length over time, we have built in a way to
correct the flying characteristics quickly and easily. Adjustments
after heavy use over years should be done to keep the products
performance and ensure a long-term use of the HYBRID.
13.01 Performance Tuner
The performance tuner is a knot ladder integrated into the C-
Pulleyline to modify the camber of the kite. Move the Z-Main Line
on the knot ladder to aect performance and control bar forces.
By default, the line sits below the center knot. This trim va-
riant oers balanced control bar forces as well as performance
and stability.
