but kitepower can only be a troll, I cant believe someone still doesnt understand your method.
I did not try it yet, so I cant say the final word, but it seems promising.
BTW, I agree it is only a matter of connecting 4 lines!
Me I use the most standard method, just walk side-upwind, then walk back untangling and finally connect using the brain.
I admit I f*** up 5% of the times when I am really in a hurry, but I always realize it when I am holding the bar ready to launch, and I dont understand how someone else could not!
But I also want my dose of fucks, so I will tell u the only doubt I have. IF you dont have a spinnable system (wishard or similar) dont you think you may end up with the 2 central lines twisted? I guess one could easily fix it properly rotating the central loop just before hooking, but this could be annoying expecially if you have a leash on a central line. By my point of view this could be the only advantage of the traditional method I use.
One last thing:
I would be extremely gratefull if, between two fucks, you may tell me your opinion on the hooked-unhooked launching issue.
My opinion is that is quite crazy to launch un-hooked (I mean ALSO from central loop) expecially in high winds, wou will have the kite full power!

Hey gyru,
The thing about my rig method that is different is that by attching the fronts only then walking back the rear lines you have a positive check,
you essentailly confirm that the front line are on the front pigs,,and you are left only to hook up the rear lines properly,,,so the odds of doing it right are increased over the sandard four at once no chek meathod,,
Toby said he can't noty use this method on a front line spinnig leash meathod,,He would know I quess? I just spin out the chick loop to untwist the frontlines before launch,, or for self launch just leave afew twists I use a rear line safety,,,
On the launch quesstion?,,,I launch hooked in,,my feeling is why f*** around trying to shackle in with a hot kite and a floating board in shallow water?? I don't see the safety in that extra chore??
We have good wind here so that makes launching more predictable,,
Hope that helped
fokiten
ps steve give it up dude,,
you may jiggle forever,, it is what I want for you.
enjoy
