instructions. You should not use this product unless you are under proper guidance and supervision.
• Do not use this product if you are under the inuence of alcohol, drugs or medications.
KITE AND CONTROL SYSTEM WARNINGS:
• Always have a partner when launching and landing your kite.
• Always learn to use a small trainer kite before attempting to use a larger power kite.
• Never allow anyone who is not familiar with power kites to use this product.
• Never use this product without a safety leash system. A loose kite is extremely dangerous.
• The kite/control system is equipped with passive safety systems, which need to be activated by the user
for them to work.
• The leash system is not a permanent attachment to this product. Never permanently attach yourself to
the kite or any of its components.
• Never use this kite with another control system or safety leash. Only use the control system that is
supplied with this kite. Other brands are not compatible with this design therefore and the safety
system will not work.
• Always wear protective equipment when using this product, for example; helmet, gloves, shoes,
protective eyewear etc.
• Always use a high quality and well maintained kite specic harness.
• Get yourself used to the way all quick release devices work by testing them often in a non-emergency
situation.
• Rinse all quick release devices in fresh water after each use. Quick release devices have a limited lifetime
and must be checked and replaced often.
• Always activate and re-load all safety systems to familiarize yourself with how they work. This is the only
way to be sure that you know how to use them in all situations, and that they are correctly loaded and
safe for use.
• The quick release trim loop and kite leash equipped with a quick release must be replacement after
250hours of use. Replace them before if you see any sign of wear. The wearing of quick release devices is
not considered a warranty issue.
• Never touch the ying lines when the kite is in use. Flying lines are extremely dangerous while under
tension and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never use this product with worn lines. A line that breaks while under tension can cause serious injury
or death.
• Always check your ying lines for knots before each use. Knots greatly reduce the strength of the lines.
• Stay away from tangled ying lines unless the kite is secured to the ground. An unsecured kite can self
launch unexpectedly, and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never allow yourself, or anyone else, to get between the control bar and the kite when using this
product.

herein applies to previous and/or other products or components. Always read and

QUICK RELEASE CONNECTION
BELOW THE BAR RELEASE RECOMMENDED MODE
ADVANCED RIDERS USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, NOT RECOMMENDED
seCUrity
The Quick Release is the primary connection
to the kite. Make sure you connect to the Quick
Release using the nger as shown in the pictures.
All riders should attach their Kite Leash to the Flag Out System. This is the small eyelet on the Stainless
Steel Swivel Ring.
When the release is activated, the kite will ag out and fall to the water/ground.
In all situations make sure that all lines are clear of all working release systems and the kite leash is
connected in the right way.
Riders performing unhooked tricks or who are more condent and have spent many hours Kiting can
attach in Expert mode, where the loop part runs through the large eye of the steel ring. When letting
go of the bar in Expert mode (without activating the release e.g. missed handle pass) the kite will
depower but WILL NOT ag out. Be aware in this situation, the Quick Release will be out of reach and can
therefore not be released. When hooked in and activating the Quick Release the steel ring automatically
slips off and the kite will ag out.
All line to kite connections are made using a “LARKS HEAD” knot.

Activate the Quick Release as shown in the pictures. Providing your leash is attached to the flag out
system the kite will 100% depower.
In the case of an extreme emergency where
you need to completely release from the kite,
use the quick release on the kite leash. This will
completely detach the kite and control system
from the user, and could therefore hit anything or
anyone downwind causing damage, serious injury
or death. RIDE RESPONSIBLY.

If the wind is light (less than 8 kph) lay trailing
edge directly into the wind with sand/snow to
secure the kite. Place yourself directly in front
of the kite. Hook into the Quick Release.
Step backwards while pushing the bar
forward. The kite will slowly inate and take
off. Keep some tension on the back lines until
the kite is fully inated.
In very light winds, to assist launching, gently
grab and pull on the front lines until the kite
takes off from ground.

OPTION 1:
Only recommended when you don’t have an assistant.
Release the Primary Security.
Ensure the safety leash is connected to the ag out line (see pictures, this is the recommended safety
option). Activate the Quick Release, and the kite will ag out on one front line and fall to the ground.
(See SECURITY)
OPTION 2:

Fly the kite to the edge of the window and lower
it gently and...
• Have a friend catch and take control of the kite.
• Run towards the kite to take all tension from
the lines.
If the wind is strong (more than 8 kph), lay kite
directly downwind with sand/snow or board
securing the upwind tip.
Place yourself at 45 deg to the kite upwind. Hook
into the Quick Release. Step backwards while
pulling the down wind side of the bar to ease kite
into the air. The kite will slowly inate and take
off on the side of the wind window. Keep some
tension on the back lines until the kite is fully

Ensure the Kite Leash is connected to the Flag Out Line. Activate the Quick Release. The kite will ag out
on line #5, loose ination pressure and fall to the ground. Check the speed system, bridle lines and ying
lines for twists before restart.

When the kite is landed face down, take the handbrake rmly, pull and hold. The kite will reverse from
the ground, turn over, and land leading edge up. The kite is now ready to launch normally.
See “LAUNCHING”.
To release the line from the cleat teeth, rst pull
out and down to unlock the line from the teeth,
then set the trimmer line to the desired amount.
Pull the trimmer line down to de-power the
kite. This is needed if you are overpowered, for
unhooked riding, or if you are walking on the
beach or snow.
Release the trimmer line away from you to
increase kite power.

All lines should be maintained as close to equal
length as possible. Flying lines can stretch over
time, generally the front lines stretch more as
these take the majority of the load.
To check your lines, unwind the lines from the bar
and have a partner hold the lines even at the bar
end. Taking hold of the lines at the other end, pull
on the lines to check they are even. If the lines are
not even you may either;
1) Stretch out the shorter lines. Attach the shorter
lines to a car hitch or something very solid. Then
take hold of the bar and pull with enough force to
stretch the line. Do this to any lines that are shorter
and re-check that all 4 lines are equal length.
2) Use the Leader Line trimming knots located
underneath the bar ends.

Disconnect the ISL line from the internal knot and pull the line out of the pocket. Ensure there are no tangles or knots in the line.
Open the undersurface zips (next to the centre of the kite)
to access the ISL lines (left and right) –
each line is stored inside the kite in a pocket on the rib (prole

Ensure the ISL is not twisted around the Diagonal Rib inside. Feed the ISL line through the plastic ring on the bridle line tab next to
the zip. Feed the line from the wing tip side towards the center.
Close the zip until 5mm before the slider goes into the bungee
cover, leaving room for the ISL line to run f reely.
Connect the two ISL lines coming out of the kite to the LSL
line, using a loop-to-loop connection.
