  • Each member is responsible for their own material, all the equipment must be carefully prepared well in advance of the lift’s departure time, should an inconvenience occur due to the kiter’s negligence at the time of the “launch” of the wing ( crossed lines, damaged material, etc.) and consequently it will not be possible to fly the wing, the lift will still be considered carried out.

 
How to set up the kite:

  • Check the proper functioning of the security system
  • Unroll the lines, connect your kite lines and check again that they are not crossed
  • Wrap up the kite lines around the bar and secure them so that they are tense and they cannot untie
  • Roll the kite from the two extremities to the center
  • Insert the previously prepared bar into the center of the kite
  • Use the kite leash to tie it so that it will not unroll
