I noticed that the lines were already attached to the kite in the video.
Do you normally leave your LEI bar and lines attached to your kites (aka "Flysurfer Style")? If so, how do you pack your bar? (In the kite or outside of the kite?

Hello joedy.....real good question..yes lines always stay on........ aka flysurfer style....
The bar is packed on the outside of kite
Look at video just before i unfold the kite...it is on top of it...and lines are coming out from the LE
When i take bar off the kite i put it 2ft in front of LE... a bit to right of the center strut...
...towards where the wind is coming from... in the video
After i got the kite pumped and pump put away...you see me grab the bar..
.....and walk toward sandbag....set the bag...then go on my way around the windward wingtip
This is how loose the slack lines need to be in the kite...in order to get you around either side of kite
Once i have cleared the wingtip..i undo the bar ends ties....and unwind the lines fully..
So basically just do exactly in reverse to pack...put bar down lined up w/center strut..2ft outside LE
I fold all my kites tips to centers...then..
...fold the kite in 2 or 3 trailing edge toward leading edge...and once folded..put bar/lines on top...
...and in the bag...fully ready to go for your nest session
