3. FLYSURFER (FS) special functions
3.1. Safetysystem
The FS Safetysystem is activated when the rider unhooks from the depowerloop (or
pulls the quick release on the depowerloop) and lets go of the bar. In this case the
trailing edge folds forward and the wingtips of the kite fold up. The kite falls
backwards with reduced pull until it lands on its trailing edge, ready for relaunch.
Important: If the kite doesn’t immediately fall to the ground, but instead flaps in the
air, then keep calm and wait a little. The kite will eventually land itself safely.
3.1.1. Depowerloop Quick Release Activation
To activate the Safetysystem in an emergency, pull the red ball on the depowerloop.
Once free let go of the red ball immediately. The minute the depowerloop has
released and you let go of the red ball, the kite will automatically divert into
safety-mode.
