Product catalog summary
Proper Storage
To maintain your kite's longevity, wash it with fresh water and dry it thoroughly before storing. Avoid rolling it up when wet and remove sand or debris. Store in a clean, dry, cool place, and avoid placing heavy objects on it. Do not leave the kite inflated in a car or car rack box to prevent damage from extreme temperatures. Occasionally wash the control system with fresh water and store it dry.
Beach Etiquette
Follow local rules and regulations when sharing beaches and water access. Secure your kite with sand or sandbags and never leave it unattended. Set up only the gear you plan to use immediately and be considerate of other beach users. Always be ready to assist fellow kiteboarders.
Powerdrive 2N1 Overview
The Powerdrive 2N1 control system can be converted from a 2:1 pulley system to a 1:1 no pulley system. This requires conversion of both the kite and the bar. Key components include front and rear flying lines, line connectors, leader lines, and various adjustment and safety features.
Bar Conversion
To convert the bar, detach lines from the kite, adjust line lengths, and ensure all lines are equal. Follow specific steps to secure the larks head loop and check line lengths for bar tuning.
Line Length Corrections
Ensure all flying lines are the same length by adjusting knots on the leader lines. Avoid putting knots in flying lines as it compromises their integrity. Adjustments may be needed for both 2:1 and 1:1 systems.
Launch Setup
For downwind launch, lay the bar 30 meters downwind of the kite and ensure lines are not crossed. For upwind launch, lay the bar upwind and secure lines appropriately. Double-check line setup before flying.
Quick Release System (QRS)
Familiarize yourself with the QRS for emergency situations. The system involves a series of steps to set and reset the quick release, ensuring safety during kiteboarding.
Security Pin
The security pin ensures a secure connection between the harness hook and loop, allowing for complete depower and easy re-launch. Engage the pin only when ready to launch and be aware of how to disengage it.
Centerline Adjustment Strap (CAS)
The CAS allows for adjustment of the front depower lines through a pull action. Line connectors are included to minimize wear and ensure proper connection of front and rear lines.
Flagging Ring Operation
The flagging ring aids in self-rescue or self-landing by attaching the bypass leash to the lower ring, allowing the kite to be controlled by the left front line.
Bypass Leash
The Bypass leash is a safety device to prevent the kite from going astray when unhooked from the depower loop. It attaches to the harness and offers two attachment points.
Overview: This document provides detailed instructions and safety guidelines for using the BYPASS™ Leash and OVERRIDE™ 2 control systems in kiteboarding. It includes specifications, procedures, and recommendations for setup and operation.
Specifications and Setup:
  • The BYPASS™ Leash should be attached using the harness bar attachment for optimal safety. Alternate attachment points are not recommended.
  • Two main attachment points for the leash are the trapezoid at the top of the harness loop and the depower main line.
  • The OVERRIDE™ 2 system allows for depowering the kite by pushing the control bar past the Override Stopper Unit.
Procedures:
  • To detach from the kite, activate the Quick Release System (QRS) on the leash or harness loop as needed.
  • For relaunching the kite, pull on the left or right rear lines to position the kite for a side launch.
  • To replace flying lines, connect new lines to the leader lines using specified connection methods.
Safety and Recommendations:
  • Ensure the BYPASS™ Leash is set up correctly before use.
  • Start with the lowest tension setting on the Override Stopper Unit to familiarize with its operation.
  • Refer to the kite user manual for compatibility and connection instructions.
Glossary: The document includes a glossary of frequently used kiteboarding terms such as Trainer Kite, Inflatable Kite, Leading Edge, Struts, Bladder, and more, providing definitions and explanations for each.
