be able to use them fast enough in case of emergency. Remember that the Quick Release devices have a limited lifetime
and you must change them after 250 hours of kiting. Our Quick Releases are developed and designed to be used by a
rider of 80kg or less.

CAUTION!
If you are practicing spins, and you continually spin in one direction, the Shift System could be rendered
ineffective by twisted lines. To avoid the potential of twisted lines you should always try to do the same number of spins
in both directions. In addition, you should always check the condition of your Shift line by pulling on your Shift leash
to make sure the Shift line is not bound in any way. If you feel tension on the line you should go to the beach and reset
your lines to eliminate all twists.
