Hi,
a question for the guys who can do loaded handlepasses:
(I can't, but want to learn it)
Is the handlepass easier with e.g. 15m Flyinglines, compared to 23m?
Less steady pull?
Thanks!
Herbert
Dead moment (slack): more with shorter lines or with longer?

Longer lines are better for passes. They all so help with controlling the kite while doing the trick as the kite won't be as responsive to bar movements. I say between 23-26m is probably ideal but it is all so something you have to figure out for your self.

True, but getting a good pop would be trickier. So medium lines would be ideal, the 22-24m as mentioned before.TheJoe wrote:Longer lines are better for passes.
