MOVING THE OVERRIDE BALL/SLEEVE
The Override length can be adjusted to suit individual rider needs.
• Loosen the Allen screws on the Override sleeve
• Slide the sleeve to the desired position
• Tighten the Allen screws lightly. – Do not over-tighten the screws.
CAUTION: The Override system comes preset at 35cm of depower. This is the best position to allow the convenience of bar spinning
and depower. If you set the depower length less than 35 cm, you do so at your own risk.
RELAUNCHING WITH THE OVERIDE CONTROL SYSTEM
The same features that de-power the kite also assist in quicker relaunching. When the kite is leading edge down on the water, it
can be rolled into a side launch position by following these steps:
• The rear leader line is also your relaunch assist line
• Reach up the rear leader lines and pull the line toward your body. You may need to pull a couple of meters of line to get the
wingtip to rise off of the water
CAUTION: Make sure not to wrap the leader line around your hand or to allow your body to get entangled in it.
• It helps to keep your boards on your feet and in front of you to slow your forward momentum.
• The kite will roll onto one wingtip.
• Once on its side, the kite will begin to move toward the edge of the wind window. You may have to finesse the kite to the
edge of the window; to do this, continue to hold onto the same leader line until the kite wants to re-launch.
• When the kite is ready to re-launch, release the leader line, slowly steer the kite up into the sky, and level out your bar.
• Once you begin riding again, you may reset the Override ball.
Self Rescue with the Crossbow
The Crossbow depower is designed to provide the rider with a greater range of depower and security. However, in the event of a
self rescue, you may want to “flag” the kite.
We have provided for this situation by adding a “grab ball” on a sliding leader. This point may also be used to attach a leash if
desired. In attaching a leash, the “spinning leash” feature is disabled”
If you want to flag the kite from this point:
• Grab the red ball above the CAS {img}
• Release the control bar
• Proceed with your self rescue
