PUTTING IN THE STICKS
REMOVING THE STICKS
TIPS REGARDING COMPACT STICKS
Make sure all the inner connectors
of the sticks are free of sand, snow or
any other debris. Assemble the sticks.
Slide the stick into the pocket. Make sure the stick slides in all the
way, so the endcap sits in between the
webbing at the top of the pocket.
Close the Velcro at the bottom to
secure the stick.
Open up the double Velcro seal at the
bottom of the pocket.
Push the sticks out from the top, by
grabbing the pocket in the middle
and pushing the top down.
Slide the stick out all the way and fold
it down.
Place the sticks in the pocket at the
back of the backpack.
• Make sure the inner connectors of the sticks are free of sand, snow or any
other debris before assembling the sticks.
• Regularly clean the compact sticks with tap water.
To start your kite you need to follow these six steps:
Step 1. Finding the right location to launch your kite.
Step 2. Placing the kite on the beach ready to
Step 3. Setting up your bar and lines.
Step 4. Checking your safety systems.
Step 5. Preparing for launch.
Step 6. Launching the kite.
Find a spot to setup, away from airports, powerlines, trees and buildings. When
launching, the area should be free of kiteflyers or other people. Also make sure
there are no sharp objects on the ground, to prevent any damage to your kite.
Roll the kite out and put in the sticks if not already done so. Place one tip on
the ground with the lower skin upwards, and let the rest in the wind. Fold a
so as many cells as possible can inflate in the upwind tip.
Open the zipper on the upwind tip, and make sure it stands open so the
air can in. Make sure both the zipper and the other zipper
are closed. While the kite is being pre-inflated you can start to get your flying
lines ready to be attached to the kite.

STEP 3. SETTING UP YOUR BAR AND LINES
Starting at the kite, unwind your flying lines while walking upwind backwards.
Place your bar on the ground the correct way around. Make sure your leader
lines and other parts of the bar are free of tangles or twists. Hold your lines
between your fingers while walking back toward the kite, to sort out the flying
lines. Make sure the lines are lying next to the kite, on the side of the trailing
edge.
To ensure that your lines are attached correctly, without twists or tangles, you can use the following method:
First attach the rear line to the
upwind tip.
Now attach the top line to the
upwind tip, taking it over the rear line
you have just attached.
Attach the rear line to the downwind
tip. You are now ready to move on to
the next step.
Take the other top line and attach it
to the downwind tip, passing it over
the kite.
Attaching the top lines to the kite
Make sure you attach your lines using a larkshead knot. Place a larkshead
knot in the flying line connector, slide it over the knot on the end of the top line
attachment and tighten the larkshead as shown.
Attaching the rear lines to the kite
Connect the flying line connector to the rear line attachment and tighten the

Re-connecting the primary safety releaseActivating the primary quick release
Activating the secondary quick release Re-connecting the secondary quick release
Re-connect the primary safety release by placing stainless steel ring on the end
of the depower loop tube into the Centrix push-away center piece and behind
the hook on the pin inside the center piece. en push the pin into the center
piece and lock it in place by sliding the release cu back down.
Always make sure all parts are free of sand and/or snow before re-connecting
your safety system.
To activate your primary quick release, push the release cu part towards the
kite.
To activate your secondary quick release, move the red release in the direction
of the arrows.
Re-connect the secondary safety release by placing the loop over the stainless
steel pin, folding the pin down and sliding the relaese cu back in place. Make
sure the release cu is sitting right against the ball after reconnecting.

STEP 5. PREPARING FOR LAUNCH
Check that there are no sharp objects under or near the kite, as it may slide a little bit over the sand during launch.
At theupwind tip, make sure theVPC lines as well as thelinesare running
freely from the tip.

If you have a helper around, this helper can hold up the downwind tip to ensure
that the lines are running over the lower skin of the kite. As soon as there is ten-
sion on the lines, the helper can let go and the kite will launch. Ask the helper
only to hold the tip up when you are completely ready to go, with your safety
leash attached and your bar in your hands.
If the helper holds the tip up at an earlier stage, the wind will blow against the
tip pushing the air out of the tip area towards the center of the kite, making

• When launching, keep the rear lines tensioned until the kite is completely
filled up with air.
• Do not launch while hooked into a harness.
• When in doubt of the wind strength, try a smaller kite
• Check your lines properly. Before attempting your launch, make sure
they are free of twists and tangles. Also check if they are not hooked behind
any part of your bar or spreader bar before you launch.
• Make sure you are not launching in an area with obstacles like poles or cars,
make sure the area is free of people or other Do not your kite
near powerlines, airports, highways, or in thunderstorms.
• Make sure your equipment is in good working order. Check for wear and tear
and make sure your bar and safety system are in good working order before
you launch.
• Make sure the ground is free of sharp objects to prevent the fabric from get-
ting damaged.
Launching with a helper is better than a self launch when the surface is rough
(like rocks or dirty beaches) or when you want to launch from a
location than where the kite was pre-inflated, for example if you wish to stand
in the water before launching.
With the kite inflated as much as possible, the helper grabs both tips firmly,
holding the sticks close together.
PACKING UP YOUR KITE
LANDING
Landing your kite is easiest with a helper, but also can be done without help
from others.
Landing with a helper
Fly your kite all the way to the edge of
the wind window, and slowly steer it
down to the ground. A helper can then
grab the pocket with stick closest to
the ground. Run forward to release the
tension on your lines and the kite will
the kite on the ground and secures the
tip with some sand. Open the deflate
zipper and fold the kite in half, placing
both tips onto each other secured with
some sand.
Self-landing
Make sure you are not landing your kite in an area with poles or other sharp
objects on the ground. Fly your kite to the edge of the wind window. Unhook
your depower loop when the leash is still attached to you or pull your safety
the ground. Wait until the kite has moved directly downwind of you. If possible,
secure your leash to any heavy object around you, and walk towards your kite.
Place some sand on the upwind tip, fold the kite in two and open the deflate
zipper. Pull the line with the safety leash back through the rings on the
power adjuster, so the leash gets back to its original position, before winding up
your lines.
If you wish to store your kite without sticks, pull out the sticks. Roll up the com-
plete kite from tips to the center. Place the kite and sticks in the bag.
If you wish to store your kite with the sticks in, just roll up your kite from tips to
center. Undo the zipper at the bottom of the bag and pull out the sleeve from
the main pocket of the bag. Place your kite in the sleeve and reattach the clips
on the front of the bag.
When leaving your kite on the beach,
always make sure your kite lies folded
in half. When leaving your kite lying
out flat, the fabric will weaken in the
downwind tip area due to the constant
and the VPC lines and/or
flying lines might get tangled. When
pausing for a longer period of time, we
recommend you to roll up your kite, as
UV rays damage the fabric.

power adjuster, so the leash gets back to its original position, before winding up
your lines.
If you wish to store your kite without sticks, pull out the sticks. Roll up the com-
plete kite from tips to the center. Place the kite and sticks in the bag.
If you wish to store your kite with the sticks in, just roll up your kite from tips to
center. Undo the zipper at the bottom of the bag and pull out the sleeve from
the main pocket of the bag. Place your kite in the sleeve and reattach the clips
on the front of the bag.
When leaving your kite on the beach,
always make sure your kite lies folded
in half. When leaving your kite lying
out flat, the fabric will weaken in the
downwind tip area due to the constant
and the VPC lines and/or
flying lines might get tangled. When
pausing for a longer period of time, we
recommend you to roll up your kite, as
UV rays damage the fabric.

ADJUSTING THE VPC (VARIABLE POWER CONTROL) SYSTEM
VPC system gives you a better control of the kite and depower range while
riding.
VPC system has four settings to set the kite’s behaviour to your per-
sonal liking. Move the larkshead along the VPC lines and place it in between the
knots, to make the VPC more or less active.
• Less direct depower, smoother power buildup when sheeting in or out
• More depower
• Less bar pressure
• Less stalling
Less active VPC - Moving the larkshead closer towards the trailing edge
• More direct depower, faster power buildup when sheeting in or out
• More power
• More bar pressure
More active VPC - Moving the larkshead closer towards the leading edge
FLIGHT ADJUSTER STEERING ADJUSTERS
KITE ADJUSTERS
the allround feel of the kite. Tightening the adjuster will give the kite slightly
more power and less depower overall. Loosening the adjuster will make the
kite less grunty.
To adjust the kite’s steering behaviour, use the steering adjusters, which can
be reached by opening the zipper. For a tighter turn, more bar pressure
and overall more power, pull in the adjusters. For a better upwind
performance and overall more depower, let out the adjusters.
• More depower
• Less stalling
Flight adjuster loose
• Less depower
• More power
Flight adjuster tight
• Better upwind performance
• More depower
Steering adjusters loose
• More power
• Tighter turn
• More bar pressure

TOP/REAR LINE ADJUSTMENTS
STALLING
INVERTING
You may find your lines not set right for your personal way of flying your kite.
If the kite steers very direct but does
not accelerate in flight, leaving you
with minimum pull, your top lines are
too long / rear lines are too tight.
If the kite steers very slow, with very
little response on your bar but flies
fast, your top lines are too short / rear
lines are too loose.
On the rare occasion that your kite stalls, grab the power adjuster and jerk the
top lines until the kite gets moving again.
On a very rare occasion the kite may invert, so the back skin is facing the flyer.
relaunch the kite.
To shorten the top lines use the
adjustment knot closest to the kite.
To make your top lines longer use the
adjustment knot furthest away from
the kite.
Rear lines too tightRear lines too loose
REMOVING SAND AND WATER FROM YOUR KITE
By removing any sand from your kite, wear is reduced but also the kite’s per-
formance is increased. When flying a kite with a large amount of sand in it, the
added weight will reduce overall flying speed and upwind performance.
Removing sand & water from the tip
area
When there is sand or water stuck
in the tip area, you can remove it by
opening the small Velcro outlets on
the tip.
Removing sand & water from the
center
When there is sand or water in the
center of the kite, you can get it out
through the zipper. Hold both
tips and shake the kite up and down
whilst the zipper is open.
sand or water will come out of the kite
via the zipper.
TIP ON TIP RELAUNCH
KITE ON ITS LEADING EDGE
When your kite lies on the water tip on tip, relaunch as follows:
Pull the rear line of the bottom tip.
Often the kite flies up with the two
tips together. If this happens relaunch
is simple: grab the power adjuster and
come loose and the kite will
...regaining its shape.
When your kite lies leading edge down, relaunch as follows:
Now just steer the kite the water.
After a water relaunch fly the kite up
to the zenith. Shaking your bar a few
times helps for the water to fall the
kite faster. On a rare occasion a little
bit of water may have gotten into the
kite. Keep the kite above your head till
the water has dribbled out through the
the water.
Pull in one rear line... ...so the kite rolls over onto its side.Now you can follow the tip on tip
