Kiteboarding is a hazardous sport, with many disciplines and ability levels. As with all
sports, there are inherent risks of injury. The following contains key points to remember
when operating your Cabrinha kite.
•
Be familiar with the set up and use of the supplied security systems: IDS™ and the Harness
Loop Quick Release systems.
•
Make sure your control system is rigged and used according to the supplied instructions.
•
Make sure your kite is compatible with the control system.
•
Always use your Cabrinha kite with a bypass leash.
•
NEVER permanently attach yourself to this kite, the control bar, or lines.
•
NEVER use this kite as a flying device.
•
NEVER touch the kite lines while they are under tension; do not catch the kite using these
lines.
•
When inflated but not in use, secure your kite with sand or with something heavy and non-
abrasive; the more weight the better (see "Kite Care" for more information). An inflatable
power kite will still fly, even without a rider, so be mindful of those around you and secure your
kite. Your kite may cause serious injury or death if it launches unexpectedly.
•
Do not lend your gear to someone who has not been fully instructed on the use of inflatable
kites. Other users should also read this user's manual and be proficient in all its points.
•
Check your gear before going on the water. Insure that your flying lines, security systems,
kite, board, etc. are all rigged properly and are in working order.
