REGULATION:

  1. 1. The Lift Service is done twice a day, depending on weather conditions. The morning meeting is set at 7:30 am and the departure is at 8 am; the afternoon meeting is from 1:30 pm to 2:00 pm. Each member has to have the equipment ready to use, and prepared as follows when boarding.
  2. 2. Each member is responsible for his own equipment, which has to be prepared in good time before the lift departure. Should there be evidence of a problem due to a negligence of the kiter (front-line and back-line tangled, damaged equipment, etc.), which means that it will not be possible to fly the kite, the Lift service will be in any case considered done.

 

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
