Don’t touch QR or flagout line. Drop kite on water near the edge of wind window and pull it to yourself by one of front lines. Never warps line over anything you don’t want to cut off. Wear gloves to hold lines better. What do you mean “punch out”? ... 'punch out' is different way of saying 'releas...

Good bar feeling over a big wind range / kite range is rocket science, 100% !!! Endcap/ winder geometry is ...
Hi all, New to this forum and after some advice. Got a North Juice 2016 18m for light wind days and it came without a bar. Normally fly a Naish Pivot 4 line quiver and I wondered if the Juice is best to fly with a 4 or 5 line bar? Does it need to be a North Quad or Click bar and line and what lengt...
G'day Kitenight11, I've been lucky to have a go of the new Spirit Carve 950 with the 90cm mast mounted on a 4'10" Pace board recently.
