SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

DUOTONE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS: 

If you are not yet able to kite or if you feel insecure, you must attend a licensed Kiteboarding school 
to learn the basics of this fantastic sport. Get familiar with the safety precautions, which are 
indispensable for safe Kiteboarding.

Kiteboarding creates a heavy strain on your body. You should only go Kiteboarding if you are in good 
physical condition and suffer from no medical conditions that may prevent you from kiting. Always 
act carefully to not endanger yourself or anyone else. Do not endanger the safety of uninvolved third 
parties! Be aware of the risks you take and limit them to a minimum level!

Check that your Iron Heart and your safety leash are in good working order before and after using 
them each time. To do this, release them as described in section 4, Functions, then reassemble 
them. 

BEFORE GOING ON THE WATER MAKE SURE YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH YOUR DUOTONE EQUIPMENT 
AND MEMORISE HOW TO USE IT PROPERLY. CORRECT HANDLING CANNOT SIMPLY BE LEARNED IN 
AN EMERGENCY.

For your own safety, read the following instructions as well as product descriptions very carefully

2.1. 

KITEBOARDING SAFETY

-  Fly your Kite only over unobstructed water. Never on land!
-  Fly this kite only if you are a strong swimmer and are wearing a Coast Guard approved PFD.
-  Only use bars with a safety system that you can open in emergency situations.
-  Use a quick-release kite leash so that you can unhook your body from the gear in case of  

an unforeseeable emergency.

-  Avoid power lines, telephone poles, airports, streets, buildings and trees.
-  If you use a board that is leashed to your body, wear a helmet!
-  Take into account the usual risks associated with water sports such as rocks, waves, sunburn, 

hypothermia, jellyfish etc.
