SAFETY RELEASE AND LEASH
The new F-ONE quick-release has been designed to work effectively even in the most crit-
ical situations and can be triggered under load but also when the lines are slack. A stopper
at the top holds the kitebar to make sure the system works even when the bar is pushed
towards the rider and blocked in the lowest position. Its new push-away system enables to
trigger the release with minimal force.

How to release:
In case of emergency or when encountering a difficult situation, do not hesitate to
trigger your release system which enables to fully depower the kite.
To trigger the release, hold firmly the red handle and push it away from you.
It is critical to know your safe-
ty systems properly to make
sure you can use them effec-
tively in emergency situa-
tions. It is therefore recom-
mended to train on how to
release and depower the kite
very often.
How to re-plug your quick-release:
Before plugging back your quick-release, make sure you are not tangled in the lines. Hold
on to the life line and keep it pulled in by a good margin (a few dozens of cm). All other
lines should remain slack throughout the process. Never wind your lines around any part
of your body. You should also keep an eye on your kite at all time.
