Overview
The Frontline
TM
Security and Relaunch System with Tap Out
TM
is the easiest way to depower a classic arc kite from the top of the
arc. This nose line depower system is standard equipment for all Contra, Revolver, and Co2 complete kites.
Tap Out
TM
Tap Out
TM
is an on-board security feature designed to be used during the launching and/or landing process to reduce the risks
associated with flying a kite on land. When enabled, Tap Out
TM
allows the rider to depower the kite completely by pushing the
control bar in the direction of the kite. Once activated the load will transfer automatically to the Frontline
TM
and instantly depower
the kite. The rider then stays connected to the depowered kite by a leash which is integrated into the system.
Unhooked Mode
The Frontline
TM
function can also be used when riding unhooked to immediately depower the kite. By connecting a handle pass
leash to the Frontline
TM
ring, the kite will depower by simply letting go of the bar when unhooked from the harness. To recover the
kite in this mode there are no parts to reconnect. Just grab the bar, un-spin the lines, and its ready to launch again.
Manual Activation
The Frontline
TM
system can be manually activated to depower the kite at anytime, even while riding, by lifting on the manual
release handle.
Relaunch Assist
TM
Frontline’s Relaunch Assist
TM
feature can easily launch a downed kite in seconds. When the kite falls to the water or snow leading
edge down, you can pull on the Frontline
TM
to flip it on its back. Then by pulling on one of the rear leader lines you can easily
steer the kite into the side launch position.
Frontline
TM
– Hooked In
The Frontline security system can be operational when the rider is either hooked in to the harness loop or unhooked (with an
attached leash). If a rider chooses the hooked in option, they must use and Cabrinha harness loop with security pin. When the
manual QR is activated, the rider will remain connected to the Frontline
TM
via the harness loop.
TAP OUT
TM
leash
Frontline has added an important security feature by taking one step out of the release activation equation. The new Tap Out
TM
feature allows the rider to simply push the control bar to activate the IMMEDIATE DEPOWER
TM
function. This system allows the
rider to immediately turn off the power of the kite, even while riding, by utilizing the Tap Out leash. The rider then stays connected
to the de-powered kite by a leash that is attached to the rider.
Frontline with Tap out allows the rider to enable an automatic release security function prior to launching, landing, or at anytime
while riding. This is simply done by attaching the Tap Out leash to the Powerlock loop. When the rider is on the water and away
from any obstacles they can disconnect the Tap-Out leash.
The IMMEDIATE DEPOWER
TM
function can still be activated anytime by lifting the release handle in the direction of the kite.
