WARNING

Launching and ﬂying a kite can be potentially dangerous, especially when you ignore basic

safety guidelines.

Always be extremely careful when using a kite.

Incorrect handling or misuse of a kite may cause serious injuries and/or death.

When using a kite, you are responsible for your own safety and that of others around you.

A kite can be dangerous for as long as the Safety-System hasn’t been deployed.

Never hesitate to use the Safety-System (you can’t ever use it too early or not enough,

only too little or too late).

Never use a kite prior to professional instruction by a certiﬁed kite surﬁng school.

For trained inﬂatable-kite users, a proper introduction into the FLYSURFER-System is

essential (thoroughly read this manual).

You can ﬁnd competent FLYSURFER-schools under: www.FLYSURFER.de

SAFETY GUIDELINES

Never launch a kite during thunderstorms, in stormy conditions or before gustfronts.

The risk of injury increases over-proportionally with the wind strength, the gustiness,

with suddenly increasing or completely onshore wind.

Check the weather conditions and choose the right size of kite, a kite that’s too big can

be very dangerous.

Lines under tension can cut like a knife. Never touch the lines unless the kite is properly

secured on the ground.

Only use a kite with a fully functioning Safety-System, wear a helmet and impact vest.

Always check the current condition of your equipment, especially wear and tear parts

(depowerloop, pulleys and lines) as they are very important for a safe and

controlled ﬂying. Never launch a kite that has any weakened or

worn parts.

Only sail out as far as you are able to swim back.

Thoroughly check the kite-spot for shallows, obstacles, currents etc.

Keep two line-length of distance between yourself and other beach users,

obstacles, etc. Never ﬂy the kite above other people downwind of you.

Make sure that you are being watched while you are kite surﬁng and someone

can call for help in an emergency.

Only use the kite if you are in a good physical condition and never under

the inﬂuence of drugs and/or alcohol.

1. MY FLYSURFER KITE AND I

To ensure save riding and maximum fun with your new FLYSURFER, we recommend that you

read these instructions thoroughly. In this manual we have tried to address all questions put

to us in the past.

If there are still some unanswered questions then internet forums like www.oase.com,

www.kiteforum.com or www.foilzone.com will provide you with unbiased and helpful advice.

Alternatively pay a visit to our website www.ﬂysurfer.de, through which you will also

have the ability to contact our team directly.

Also use the guarantee registration, which can also be found there, so that we can contact you

directly when we have any safety messages for you.

Before you start your kite for the ﬁrst time please make sure that you checked all lines

especially if the depowerlines are contacted to the bar.

Try it ﬁrst when there is less wind. Your kite is built for kiters which have a weight of at least

40kg but no more than 120kg.

Delivery conditions:

Your FLYSURFER kite is always delivered with ﬁxed lines, a bar and a kitebag. In one kitebag

you can put up to 3 FLYSURFER kites. In the additional bag at the end you can easily put your

board and tighten it with with the straps from the middle of your bag.

2. YOUR FLYSURFER KITE

2.1. DESCRIPTION

With the new FLYSURFER kites, we push the already legendary depower-effect

and incredible windrange of our kites to the next level. Thanks to the brand new

TOTAL DEPOWER SYSTEM (TDS) it is now possible to use your kite in a previously

unachievable windrange!

2.2 FEATURES

- FULL DEPOWER BAR (FDB)

- MAX DE-/POWER LEINEN-SYSTEM (MDPL)

- FRONT-LINE-SAFETY (FLS)

Optional: FULL DEPOWER SAFETY LINE (FDS)

In addition this kite is equipped with a further developed SOFT STEERING SETUP /HARD

STEERING SETUP option (SSS/HSS). You will be able to adjust the kites barforces in steps

from a soft to a hard setup according to your personal preferences.

3. FLYSURFER SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

3.1. TOTAL DEPOWER SYSTEM (TDS)

The TDS consists of three components:

The FULL DEPOWER BAR (FDB) enables you to ﬁnally experience the most direct

depower effect within reach of your arms! Furthermore the new FDB completely avoids the

use of any pulleys to counter high bar-forces!

The MAX DE-/POWER LINE-SYSTEM (MDPL) increases the amount of projected

surface area and results in noticeably more power per m² than ever encountered on any „C“

or bow-kite concept on the current market. Ultimately, the MDPL does no longer limit the

depower effect with the line system or the U-shape of the kite but the kite can be fully

opened in the powerzone or at the edge of the wind window. A dangerous inversion (lufﬁng)

of your FLYSURFER kite or for your kite to turn inside out whilst fully depowered is almost im-

possible when compared to classic bow-kite concepts. In addition, the depower effect of

FLYSURFER kites is not only increased by adjusting the angle of attack (AOA) but also by

actively changing the shape of the airfoil during ﬂight. Maximum Power, maximum Depower,

maximum safety and maximum fun!

3. SAFETY-LEASH-VARIANTS:

For the ﬁrst time Flysurfer provides with the new FRONT-LINE-SAFETY (FLS) a safety system

for foil kites that requires 4 ﬂying lines only and nevertheless lets the kite blow out with an

extremely low remaining pull.

With the FULL DEPOWER SAFETYLINE (FDS) proven in the PULSE and PSYCHO3 there is

another option which facilitates, beside an extremely low remaining pull, the possibility to

always pack the kite properly and thus easily relaunch it.

These safety systems guarantee that the kiter will never lose control even under extremely

deteriorating weather conditions and will never have to detach completely from the kite,

as it is required by some other massive-depower-systems on the market.

3.1.1. FULL DEPOWER BAR (FDB)

All Leaderlines have the same lenght.
