Wind range is highly subjective and based largely on rider weight and skill. The numbers on the kites represent the effective
POWER progression of the kites CLOSELY related to actual area. Kites come in different sizes for different windspeeds and rider
weights, so if you want to ride every windy day, you will have to buy a few kites to cover all the wind situations so you can ride
in any condition. Many kitesurfers have 2-3 kites to cover most situations.
To inflate your kite using the
LF Max Flow Inflation System,
gently twist open the top cap
of the valve.
If the red flap is locked in the
open position, it is strongly
suggested to close it before
inserting the pump nozzle.
Do this by inserting one
finger into the valve and
pulling up on the yellow
rectangular tab to release the
red flap from the locked open
position.
Push inside, using gentle
pressure, the Liquid Force
dedicated wide nozzle included
with the Liquid Force pump.
When the nozzle is secured
inside, start pumping until you
the recommended pressure
indicated for your particular
model of LF kite. ** Please note,
DO NOT push the valve from the
bottom, this could cause possible
damage to your kite bladder.
Once you have reached the
recommended pressure range
for you particular LF kite model,
slowly remove the pump nozzle,
the inside red flap will seal the
Max Flow valve, preventing the
air from coming out. If for any
reason there you hear any
airflow noise, quickly push
down the red flap, it will then
properly re-seal the Max Flow
valve.
Make sure to securely tighten
your Max Flow valve cap so
that you engage the internal
foam seal to provide a
secondary air seal. This will
help prevent any air leaking
out of the Max Flow valve if
the red flap becomes
dislodged in any way. (e.g.
from a hard crash, or tumble
in a breaking wave)
INFLATION PROCESS
DEFLATION PROCESS
To deflate your kite using the
LF Max Flow Inflation System,
gently twist open the top cap
of the valve. At this point the
air is still locked inside the LE.
Press the red flap down into the
valve using your finger to break
the air seal. This will initiate the
release of the air.
Continue pressing the red flap
until approximately 25-50% of the
air is out of the kite. At this point
press the red flap into a vertical
position until you feel it “lock”. This
will secure it OPEN inside the cage
of the valve, and allow for easy air
flow out of the valve to ensure the
kite completely deflates. If the red
flap unlocks and returns to the
CLOSED position, thus blocking air
evacuation, push the flap back
down further to lock it in the OPEN
position.
Once your kite is rolled and
ready to back into the bag,
we suggest you loosely close
the valve CAP to prevent any
sand or undesirable objects
to enter your bladder.
REMOVING THE BLADDER WITH MAXFLOW FROM THE KITE
If the event of a slow leak or puncture in
your leading edge (LE) bladder, you will
have to remove the Max Flow valve from
the LE of the kite. First remove the cap from
the valve.
Next unscrew the threaded on security
ring of the Max Flow valve. Removal of the
threaded security ring will allow you to free
your valve from the kite LE. Then simply
push the valve into the LE for bladder
removal.
Once you fix your bladder and place it
back into the LE, simply reverse this
process of the removal for replacement.
Simple and easy!
