RELAUNCHING A LIQUID FORCE SLE BRIDLE KITE ON WATER, GROUND AND SNOW
SUPPORTED LEADING EDGE SETUP
To relaunch our SLE Kites with the leading edge
down, start by allowing the kite to align and rest straight
downwind. Initiate relaunch by pulling in on one outside leader
line, about 1 arms length. Hold this leader line steady without
releasing it.
Continue holding leader line in tight as the SLE bridle rotates the
kite onto on wingtip and towards the edge of the wind window.
Continue to hold the same outside line as kite moves towards the
edge of the wind and into relaunch position.
With the kite rotated to flying position and at the edge of the
wind window,steer the kite upwards while pushing the bar
forward and sheeting out (depowering) the kite. This will put
the tension onto the SLE bridle,allowing the kite to fly forward
Fly the kite up and out of the water along the edge of the window
into the neutral position. Check your gear,leash and depower
system, and continue kiteboarding!
STEP 1. STEP 2.
STEP 3. STEP 4.
HYBRIDE 5TH LINE SETUP
In Light wind or on sheltered water, our 5th line kites uses the
5th line to initiate relaunch. With kite leading edge down, straight
downwind of rider, intitiate relaunch by pulling in on 5th line. Pull
in 5th line until kite comes to rest on it’s back.
With kite on it’s back,straight downwind, initiate relaunch by
pulling in on one outside leader line. Pull in 1 arms length of
leader line and hold while kite begins to rotate and move into
relaunch position at the edge of the wind window.
Continue holding in arms length of leader
line as kite rotates up onto wingtip and
moves towards the edge of the window.
Keep holding constant tension and allow
kite to move completely to the edge of the
wind.
STEP 1. STEP 2.
STEP 3. STEP 5.
STEP 4.
With kite now at the edge of the wind
window and in flying position, push the bar
away to sheet out the kite and allow the
front and 5th lines to have tension,allowing
the kite to fly forward and into the air.
Fly the kite up and out of the water along
the edge of the window into the neutral
position. Check your gear,leash and
depower system, and continue kiteboarding!

Wind range is highly subjective and based largely on rider weight and skill. The numbers on the kites represent the effective
POWER progression of the kites CLOSELY related to actual area. Kites come in different sizes for different windspeeds and rider
weights,so if you want to ride every windy day, you have to buy a couple kites to cover all the wind situations so you can ride in
any winds. Most kitesurfers have 2-3 kites to cover all situations.
To inflate your kite using
the LF MAX Inflation
System, gently twist open
the top cap of the valve.
If the RED one way wall is in
open position, it is strongly
suggested to close it before
inserting the pump nozzle.
Push inside, with gentle
pressure, the Liquid Force
dedicated wide nozzle
included with the Liquid Force
pump, when the nozzle is
secured inside, start pumping
until you reach 6 to 8 PSI of
pressure (to the rider’s choice).
** Please note, DO NOT push
the valve from the bottom, this
could cause possible damage
your bladder.
Once you have reached 6 to 8
PSI, slowly remove the pump
nozzle,the inside RED one way
wall will fall into place
preventing the air form
coming out. If for any reason
there would be a small airflow
noise, quickly push down the
RED one-way wall, it will then
fall back into is dedicated
location.
Lightly close the top cap
after inflation, DO NOT over
rotate the top cap, this
could make it hard to open
again and create a possible
twist the bladder around
the valve. Keep in mind
that the RED one-way wall
is there to keep the air
inside the bladder, and the
top cap is only there to
prevent sand or water to
enter the valve.
INFLATION PROCESS
DEFLATION PROCESS
To deflate your kite using
the LF MAX Inflation
System, gently twist open
the top cap of the valve. At
this point the air is still
locked inside the LE.
Slightly push the inside RED
one-way wall towards the
inside of the valve using 1
finger. This will slowly initiate
the release of the air.
When 25-50% of the air is out of
the kite, you will be able to push
down completely the RED one
way wall, and lock and secure it
open it inside the hole. This will
open wide the flow of the valve
to ensure the kite completely
deflates. If the RED one-way wall
closes back, push it back down
further to lock it in the OPEN
position.
When your kite is rolled
and ready to put in the bag,
we suggest you close
lightly the valve CAP to
prevent any sand or
undesirable objects to
enter your bladder.
REMOVING THE BLADDER WITH MAXFLOW FROM THE KITE
If the event of a slow leak or punctured
bladder in your leading edge (LE)
bladder, you have to seperate the
MaxFLow valve from the LE of the Kite.
First remove the cap from the valve.
Next unscrew the base of the MaxFlow
valve that is holding the valve in place.,
this will free your valve from the kite LE
sleeve and allow you to push the valve
into the LE for bladder removal.
Now, You can then fix your bladder
and set it back into the LE sleeve easily
by reversing the process of the
removal.How easy was that!

EASY POWER ADJUSTMENT FOR OPTIMAL COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE.
While your Liquid Force kite comes completely tuned and ready to fly right out of the bag, we recognize
that every rider likes a slightly different feel. Our Comfort Zone power-band system is designed for easy
adjustment of the kite’s power delivery. Featuring three different attachment points on the rear pigtails, each
setting offers a unique profile so that the power will engage and disengage right where you like it.
