IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WIND, WATER, AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
• Do NOT under estimate the power of the wind.
• Be aware of unpredictable and changing weather conditions.
• Avoid "offshore" or "onshore" wind conditions.
• Avoid strong, gusty wind.
• Be careful of wave conditions, especially when learning.
• Be educated about tides and rip currents.
• Be mindful of your ability level. Do NOT kiteboard if conditions are beyond your ability level.
• Be educated about air and water temperatures and wear appropriate protection against the elements.
• Do NOT use this product in thunderstorms.
• Consult an anemometer and weather stations to determine wind speeds if necessary.
• Do NOT use an oversized kite. Consult your Wind Range Chart for the correct recommended size. Use
your common sense. If in doubt about what kite size to use, choose smaller rather than bigger.
• Make certain that you are physically capable of operating the security Quick Release (QR) and Overdrive
1X devices provided with this kite. This kite and control system has been designed around a typical rider
weight of 75kg(165 lbs).
Riders with a weight greater than 75kg may need to use more force to operate the QR than lighter
riders. Increases in wind strength may also result in greater force being required to operate the QR.
Be certain to seek the advice of a professional such as your Authorized Cabrinha Dealer about the
performance of the security systems in relation to body weight.
