Introducing Zero Wind Kites
What is indoor flying? It’s flying a kite in an enclosed environment without the use of an avail­able wind source. The kiteflier becomes the wind force in order to move the kite through the air
by pumping the kite with smooth actions of the wrists and arms; by twisting body movements
that lead the kite into flight; or by walking in a backwards direction to create a consistent lifting
force for the kite. This opens the range of movement of the kites to a full 360Ў.

“Indoor flying” is not a contradiction in terms. It is becoming a legiti­mate sport that is gaining popularity in North America, Europe and Japan.

The Synergetic Series Zero Wind Deca, Zero Wind Great Deca, and Minergy Zero Wind
Deca are a new breed of kite; they are among the most efficient low wind kites on the mar­ket, capable of amazing control and flight with minimal effort. These Zero Wind kites
are for oudoor flying as well, in winds up to 15 mph. Your Zero Wind kite will give
you the ability to fly in places you never thought possible, and do maneuvers that will
amaze yourself and onlookers, so get ready to take a journey into Zero Wind Flying.

This manual is set up to cover all three Zero Wind Deca models.

Where there are significant differences between the models, for example in assembly, information

is given separately.

Synergy Zero Wind Deca

The newest addition to the Deca family, the Synergy Zero Wind Deca is affordable and well sized

for easy learning. This Synergy will do all the amazing Deca inverts and invert hovers in Zero

Wind. The Zero Wind Deca also has Ricketts newly developed multi- piece carbon bow system.

This makes the kite incredibly light for indoor flying and

virtually unbreakable, with an optional spar for stiffening the bow and tensioning the sail when

flying outdoors in up to moderate winds. Wind range: 0-14mph

Instructions for your

Assembly:

Synergy Zero Wind Deca

The Zero Wind Deca comes
complete with kite, lines and
handles, and bag.

Set the lines and handles and
the loose spar to one side and
start unrolling the kite.

With the kite fully unrolled, the two wings should be on the top side with the logo also facing up,
partially hidden by one wing. Each of the kite wings should have 3 spars connected to them: a
shorter one running from tip to tip, and two medium sized spars attached at one end to either tip.
As well, one long spar runs through the hole in each wing.

1.unroll the kite

2.

Take the free end of each of the two medium
length spars (extending from one tip past the
other). Bring the ends of both of these spars
together, by moving them towards the wing
tip (the very end of the kite, without spars).

Holding both ends together, insert them
into the vinyl connector at the wing tip. Do
the same to set up the spars on the other
wing. Your kite should now look like this:

2.attach wing spars

3.

Now flip both wings of the kite out, so
the wing spars you just inserted are on the
under side, and the logo and the two long
spars are on the top side facing you.

3.assemble the bow

Take the two long
spars and connect
them together, by
overlapping them and
inserting each of their
ends in the connector
located slightly down
the other spar.

You must insert both
spar ends at the same
time.

The two long spars should now be assem­bled into one piece, which runs through the
two circular holes on the wings.

4.

4.attach bow ends

Reach under one wing and find the metal cap,
which is attached to three lines. Insert the end
of the long spar into it, making sure that there
are no twists in the lines.

Reach under the other wing and do the same,
bowing the spar and tensing the kite.

Now the kite is fully assembled and ready
for very low wind or zero wind flying! (see
handle & line section for attaching the fly
lines)

Your Synergy Zero Wind Deca comes with
the optional feature of a bow stiffener for
flying in light to medium winds. This stiff­ener is the extra spar you set aside in the
beginning. To use it, insert the spar one
end at a time between the connectors on
the largest spar, at the point at which the
lines attach.

With the extra spar in place you can fly
your Zero Wind Deca in winds up to 14mph
/ 22 kmh.

When disassembling your kite, it is impor­tant to carefully follow these steps in the
reverse order. You will soon learn how to
do these without the manual, making break­ing down and setting up your kite quick and
efficient.
