Trim check

After extensive use the Steering Lines
will become shorter in relation to the
Front Lines. With adjusting the black
line above the adjuster this can quickly
be remedied. The bar has been de-
signed to have all lines at the same
length when the bar is fully powered
up. Be aware: When new, the Steering
Lines purposely come a little longer
than the Front Lines. This is because
shortly after use new Steering Lines
will normally shorten about 5-7 cm.
Walk out your lines and attach
the ends to a single point or have a
person hold the ends together.
Open the Adjuster fully (if not already
done). Grab the bar and tension the
lines (the bar should be fully powered).
All lines should be the exact same
length when under high tension.

If this is not the case, move the bow-
line knot on the black line until the trim
is correct. It is very important that you
tighten the knot properly after moving it.
If the bar is not straight
during the trimcheck you
can stretch the shorter
line by pulling hard. Only
stretch the line with muscle
strength and never with
machines or vehicles.
Setting the depower throw
The length of the depower throw
can be adjusted to fit the personal
preference of kiters.
Move the bowline knot under the
Adjuster until the desired length of
depower throw is achieved.
Balance out the shorten/lengthe-
ned depower throw by adjusting the
black line above the Adjuster accor-
dingly. For example: If you shortened
the depower throw by 5 cm you need
to lengthen the black line by 5 cm.
Redo the trim check (see
Chapter "Trim check").
Important: A short de-
power throw can reduce
the depower range of the
kite, and therefore affect
the safety of the rider.
03.02 Care
With a few easy measures you can
prolong the lifespan of the Infinity
2.0 Bar and its wearing parts.
» Wind up your lines, even during every short
break. That way you can avoid damage to
the lines when someone trips over them.
Especially sharp edges from snowboards
or skis can cut the flying lines completely.
» Rinse the bar with fresh water after every
use in salt water.
» Rinse the bar out before every launch. This
will prolong the life of the Depower Line.
» For your own safety, check your lines for
knots or weak points before every launch.
A knot will reduce the breaking strength
of the line by half, and that is why you should
never kite with a knotted flying line.
03.03 Wearing parts
Important: Only use original
Flysurfer replacement
parts. These have been
extensively tested and can
be purchased from every
Flysurfer dealer or directly
from Flysurfer.
