Flysurfer heeft een probleem met quick releases geconstateerd. Ze werken blijkbaar aan een oplossing en raden aan de spullen niet te gebruiken als ze hieronder op het lijstje staan en na 1-1-2013 gekocht zijn. Misschien maar even een andere quick release gebruiken zou ik zeggen ipv je kites helemaal niet gebruiken. Of heet flysurfer zo een speciale quick release dat hij niet te wisselen is met een ander merk release...
FLYSURFER SAFETY NOTICE
Date: 26th of July 2013
Concerns:
Affected kites are of the type FLYSURFER SPEED3 12m, 15m, 19m, 21m, FLYSURFER SPEED4,
8m, 10m, FLYSURFER UNITY 6m, 8m, 10m, 12m, FLYSURFER OUTLAW 6m, 8m, 10m, 12m,
14m, FLYSURFER PSYCHO4 6m, 8m, 10m, 12m, 15m, FLYSURFER CRONIX 6m, 8m, 10m,
12m.
Which are delivered to FLYSURFER sales partners after 01.01.2013.
NOT AFFECTED are kites delivered BEFORE 01.01.2013 and all kites of the VIRONseries.
During routine checks concerning serial controlling of kites, we determined that a few individual
Quick Releases of the Infinity 2.0 Bar system had breaking strenghts of below 200kg.
More detailed studies have shown that in production mistakenly a false line has been used, which
was not according to our specifications and is unsuitable to be used forthe purpose as a loopline.
So far, not a single case is known to us, that Quick Releaseswere broken on kites that were
delivered to FLYSURFER customers.
Should a Quick Release break during the use of the kite, the kite falls into SAFETY mode.
This can, especially when jumping over land (snow kiting, land kite boarding) or kiting on open
waters under certain conditions, have fatal consequences for the user!
FLYSURFER is working hard and under full pressure to find a quick and satisfactory solution for
the affected customers. Until then FLYSURFERURGENTLY ADVISES TO NOT USE KITES WHICH ARE AFFECTED BY
THIS ISSUE. FLYSURFERwill immediatelyinform customers and sales partnerswhen a solution is ready.
