Tuning Your Kite - Naish SIGMA Serie Mode D'emploi

5. SAFETY
How to attach your leash to your harness:
• Open the snap shackle and take out the fastening loop.
• Loop the fastening loop around the spreader bar and lock the Velcro.
• Position the loop under the bar and attach the snap shackle to the red fastening loop.
Freestyle set up:
You can connect a primary leash, such as Naish' s Deluxe Leash, to the end on the trim
line. This is an option for intermediate to advanced riders only for unhooked maneuvers.
Setting the system up this way is not a safety leash.
Releasing the Leash Quick Release:
Pics 1 & 2 If you need to get totally free of the kite, release the leash quick release by
grabbing the red handle and pushing it away from you.

6. TUNING YOUR KITE

The following is a general guide for what
your kite will do at certain knot positions. Do
not hesitate to try several different combi-
nations to find what suits your style best.
Attach the outside flying lines to one of the
three knots on the control bar' s extension
lines labeled A, B, or C.
Knot A: The kite will be somewhat
depowered when your arms are out-
stretched. Push the bar away from your
body for even less power. The kite will fly at
optimum trim while the control bar is close
to the quick release trim loop. You will be
ready to unhook at any moment for power
moves.
Knot B: The kite will be fully powered when
the bar is a few inches from the quick
release trim loop. This position will allow
you to be fully powered when your arms
are in a more extended and comfortable
position. This setup retains a good amount
of depower room above the bar, and puts
you in a more ergonomic body posture.
Knot C: This position allows you to ride with
the kite fully powered when your arms are
outstretched. This setup is great for one-
handed jumps. Pulling the bar down to the
center loop will oversheet the kite.
Caution: This setting does not allow the rider
much room to depower the kite, compro-
mising the ability to sheet out completely.
Only advanced kiteboarders should use
this setup.
