Depower-Line Adjustment - FLYSURFER Speed 2 User Manual

If you want to enlarge your flying lines you just have to buy 4 extension lines of the same length.
If you apply additional line extensions, the kite will be more powered as a result of the higher
stretch of the front lines. Therfore use extremely low-stretch lines only, as offered by
FLYSURFER. Shorten the depower leader line at the bar by about 5 cm, to be able to depower
the kite more when applying 10 m of additional lines. With increasing line length the steering
becomes more and more indirect.

Adjustments to the depower-line can be made to suit your preferred arm length position on the
bar. Simply adjust the rope at the bottom of the trimmer to the desired length. It is important
that you adjust the knot at the lower end of the depower-leaderline to compensate for the
shorter or longer length of the line between the trimmer and the bar (depower-line).

EFFECTS
Due to the decreased size of the
wind window the kite is more agile
and feels more direct in its
response to steering inputs.
Therefore the kite develops less
power when being worked and it
flies closer to the waterssurface.
Riding underpowered, especially in
conditions where there is less
wind near the waters surface is
significantly more difficult.
most optimal compromise
Due to the increased size of the
wind window the kite is less agile
and feels less direct in its steering
responses.
Therefore the kite develops more
power when being worked in
underpowered conditions.
If the wind increases with height
the low end ability of the kite can
be further improved upon.
However the response to gusts is
slow and delayed. .
PERFECT FOR
More control when overpowered,
especially in gusts, confined spots,
kiting in waves, improved safety to
due more direct kite control,
reduced risk of being lofted
All-round performance
Underpowered cruising in
certain conditions ,hang-time
