• DO NOT attempt to kite landboard until you have mastered control of your traction kite
• If you have never used a board before, spend some time on the board without the kite. This will allow you to get a feel for it
• Seek expert advice from a recognised dealer, or take lessons from a fully qualified instructor BEFORE undertaking kite landboarding
• Take out a third party liability INSURANCE that covers kite landboarding
• NEVER go kite landboarding in conditions that are too extreme or winds that are too strong for your skill level or your equipment
• ALWAYS learn to fly with a smaller kite in lighter winds before attempting to fly a larger or more powerful kite in stronger winds
• ALWAYS check your equipment for wear and tear before flying.
• DO NOT fly with worn or damaged equipment. Repair or replace accordingly
• Use EXTREME caution when using kite traction equipment. Improper use of this equipment can cause injury or death
• ALWAYS select safe kite launching and landing areas free from people and obstacles and dangerous items such as broken glass.
• Disable your kite, kite landboard and lines on the ground when not in use
• ALWAYS maintain plenty of clear space around you in all directions. A kite can pull you downwind for a considerable distance
• NEVER attach yourself permanently to your kite and landboard

• Use appropriate SAFETY equipment (i.e. helmet, knee and elbow pads, protective eyewear, gloves etc.)
• Flying lines and bridles under tension can cut like a knife. Always keep your lines away from people and animals.

Care and maintenance:
Taking good care of your kite landboard will prolong its life. Inspect the board and trucks for damage and cracks periodically. Replace if necessary. If your kite landboard is very muddy or has been used on the beach in salt water conditions, hose it down thoroughly with fresh water. To avoid corrosion, make sure the board is completely dry before storing it.

The wheels and bearings will wear with use. Periodically remove the wheels for maintenance. Hose the wheels down with fresh water and dry them thoroughly. When completely dry, spray all bearings lightly with a Teflon based lubricant (most bicycle or motorcycle chain sprays are suitable). Check the plastic hub for damage and cracks. Replace the hub if damage is found. Hubs cannot be repaired. Check the tyres for damage and wear. Replace worn and damaged tyres with new ones of the correct size and type. Worn bearings should be replaced immediately. If the wheel does not spin freely on the axle (after lubrication) or has a lot of sideways movement, replace the bearings. Check all wheels.
