hi i have 12m and 18m storm 2 kites that i fly on a stage 2 bar. what is the best way for me to have the line lengths setup. i know the lines shouldnt be the same length on the storm 2 as opposed to most other kites. i have changed the knots on my leaders a few times but it is still not set up right. any advice please.

You need to have equal length lines like ALL other inflatable kites.Anonymous wrote:hi i have 12m and 18m storm 2 kites that i fly on a stage 2 bar. what is the best way for me to have the line lengths setup. i know the lines shouldnt be the same length on the storm 2 as opposed to most other kites. i have changed the knots on my leaders a few times but it is still not set up right. any advice please.

The Storm 2, because of the curved tips need a line extension for the front lines, it should be on the kite, is it?
If it is not there, you need to make one, it needs to be a different length for different sizes on the 12M it is 22cm, let me know if you need the 18M.
I have a stage 2 bar here, let me know about the line extensions?

Kitepower is correct.. I have a 8m and 12m Storm2 and you need the extensions on the front lines for the kite to act correctly. Last weekend I went snow kiting and switched from a 2002 10m fuel to my 2003 8m Storm2 and it was awesome 
. The kite was very fast (winds were 20mph) and turned on a dime...Incredible kite but you need the extensions.
