in kite powered sports may involve serious injury or death and agree to

use and potential failure.
� Never kite alone.
� Do not kite in overpowered or gusty conditions.
� Do not kite in offshore wind conditions.
� Before launching your kite at an unfamiliar location, scout for safety
hazards and consult other kiters in the area for possible concerns (rocks,
reefs, currents, changeable weather, local ‘best practices’, etc).
� Never launch with obstacles or people closer than two full line lengths
downwind.
� Never kite near power lines!
� Never ask a non-kiter to launch or land your kite!
� Always wear a kite leash! Never wear a board leash!

USING THE R3 SIDEWINDER
NOTE: While riding, the R3 Sidewinder should be located on your right side.
To add power:Twist the tuning knob clockwise (1).The winder will add ½ cm
of trim for every quarter turn of the knob.
To depower: Bump or nudge the tuning knob outwards to allow the winder
to unspool the wound up trim line in a controlled manner (2).Your hand
does not need to leave the bar grip during this process.
Adjusting trim while riding: If the tuning knob feels too difficult to turn,
sheet the bar out to decrease backline tension. Slightly bearing off
down-wind can also provide the same effect.
To rapidly depower: Nudge the winder and induce rotation in a counter-
clockwise motion.This will allow the Sidewinder to skip multiple teeth on
the gear and depower the kite quicker.
