SUPPORTED LEADING EDGE SETUP To relaunch our SLE Kites with the leading edge down, start by allowing the kite to align and rest straight downwind. Initiate relaunch by pulling in on one outside leader line, about 1 arms length. Hold this leader line steady without releasing it. Continue holding leader line in tight as the SLE bridle rotates the kite onto on wingtip and towards the edge of the wind window. Continue to hold the same outside line as kite moves towards the edge of the wind and into relaunch position. With the kite rotated to flying position and at the edge of the wind window, steer the kite upwards while pushing the bar forward and sheeting out (depowering) the kite. This will put the tension onto the SLE bridle, allowing the kite to fly forward Fly the kite up and out of the water along the edge of the window into the neutral position. Check your gear, leash and depower system, and continue kiteboarding! STEP 1. STEP 2. STEP 3. STEP 4. HYBRIDE 5TH LINE SETUP In Light wind or on sheltered water, our 5th line kites uses the 5th line to initiate relaunch. With kite leading edge down, straight downwind of rider, intitiate relaunch by pulling in on 5th line. Pull in 5th line until kite comes to rest on it’s back. With kite on it’s back, straight downwind, initiate relaunch by pulling in on one outside leader line. Pull in 1 arms length of leader line and hold while kite begins to rotate and move into relaunch position at the edge of the wind window. Continue holding in arms length of leader line as kite rotates up onto wingtip and moves towards the edge of the window. Keep holding constant tension and allow kite to move completely to the edge of the wind. STEP 1. STEP 2. STEP 3. STEP 5. STEP 4. With kite now at the edge of the wind window and in flying position, push the bar away to sheet out the kite and allow the front and 5th lines to have tension, allowing the kite to fly forward and into the air. Fly the kite up and out of the water along the edge of the window into the neutral position. Check your gear, leash and depower system, and continue kiteboarding!

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 have to buy a couple kites to cover all the wind situations so you can ride in any winds. Most kitesurfers have 2-3 kites to cover all situations. To inflate your kite using the LF MAX Inflation System, gently twist open the top cap of the valve. If the RED one way wall is in open position, it is strongly suggested to close it before inserting the pump nozzle. Push inside, with gentle pressure, the Liquid Force dedicated wide nozzle included with the Liquid Force pump, when the nozzle is secured inside, start pumping until you reach 6 to 8 PSI of pressure (to the rider’s choice). ** Please note, DO NOT push the valve from the bottom, this could cause possible damage your bladder. Once you have reached 6 to 8 PSI, slowly remove the pump nozzle, the inside RED one way wall will fall into place preventing the air form coming out. If for any reason there would be a small airflow noise, quickly push down the RED one-way wall, it will then fall back into is dedicated location. Lightly close the top cap after inflation, DO NOT over rotate the top cap, this could make it hard to open again and create a possible twist the bladder around the valve. Keep in mind that the RED one-way wall is there to keep the air inside the bladder, and the top cap is only there to prevent sand or water to enter the valve. INFLATION PROCESS DEFLATION PROCESS To deflate your kite using the LF MAX Inflation System, gently twist open the top cap of the valve. At this point the air is still locked inside the LE. Slightly push the inside RED one-way wall towards the inside of the valve using 1 finger. This will slowly initiate the release of the air. When 25-50% of the air is out of the kite, you will be able to push down completely the RED one way wall, and lock and secure it open it inside the hole. This will open wide the flow of the valve to ensure the kite completely deflates. If the RED one-way wall closes back, push it back down further to lock it in the OPEN position. When your kite is rolled and ready to put in the bag, we suggest you close lightly 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 punctured bladder in your leading edge (LE) bladder, you have to seperate the MaxFLow valve from the LE of the Kite. First remove the cap from the valve. Next unscrew the base of the MaxFlow valve that is holding the valve in place., this will free your valve from the kite LE sleeve and allow you to push the valve into the LE for bladder removal. Now, You can then fix your bladder and set it back into the LE sleeve easily by reversing the process of the removal. How easy was that!

Featuring three different attachment points on the rear pigtails, each setting offers a unique profile so that the power will engage and disengage right where you like it.
