Yes Peter, Thanks for the rear lines theory I totally agree about it .. the rear ones shall be little longer so kite stay in the right position. I'm afraid of stretching the shorter line so the front ones will get equal to rear ones and kite won't be the same.

I guess I'm gonna go for tuning the shorter line knot.

**Off Topic. Maybe I'm dreaming. but have you ever been to RedSea Egypt? It's windy 12 out of 12 months a year.

Imagine if you're 80 kg being in that beautiful spot riding a 12m Cab 2014 and trying to check how high you can go in a 25kts gusting to 30 kts :) .. that's the beauty of being beginner, You never know what's gonna happen. maybe it wasn't 10 meters exactly but I remember spending so much time hanging closing eyes and opening it for like 3 times :D .. anyway I didn't say I landed haha

Cheers and thanks for the reply

All of your lines should be exactly the same length.

You can rotate you bar every session so as to keep your lines stretching evenly. Just rig the right side to left and so forth. I do this every so often but I all so force myself to learn tricks both directions now so I don't have the uneven stretch like I used to get.
