GK lift set up

Hi GK surfers,

What is the best set up regards the line length
of the GK lift 12m and 18m ?

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean? do you mean centreline and or steer line? I'm wondering what people have found our about the KPO and using the different attachment points. I’m using 1 and 5 right now and wonder if 1 and 6 might be more powerful in light winds??

I've been toying with the settings on my 12 and 15, and here is what I have found so far.
By moving the settins back to 2 and 6, it definitely increased the bottom end and decreased the amount of de-power, which is what you want in light wind. Then I moved it back to 3 and 7 and the kite became sluggish and sat further back in the window. The wind was really light when I did this ( 8-10 mph with the 15) but it still flew forward and pulled surprisingly well. I want to try this again with a little more wind.
I also tried settings 1 and 6, which also seemed to deminish the de-power effect, but had great low end. Next, I want to experiment with the rear line attachments in combination with changing the fronts. There are so many options it could take a while. Mat Pendle is working on a manual which will detail the effects of all of these options. Hopefully this will be available soon. Until then, I'm having fun with my experiments.
Enjoy!!

what about the Knotes they use ? It seems that have two 8's with an over hand. I think this is so you can change the set up easily but they don't look very solid. Can You ask Matt to put the guide up on the web site in a PDF that would be helpful.
Thanks for the input I will try 2 and 6 the next time the wind is light here.
