DOWNWIND LAUNCH SET UP (Bar downwind of kite)
• Lay the bar 30 meters downwind of the kite so that the wing tips are facing the control bar (the leading edge of the kite
should be facing into the wind). When setting the bar up downwind of the kite, you must turn the bar upside down before
walking the lines out. This means that as you are looking toward the kite from behind, the yellow-sheathed lines will be on
the right, while the black-sheathed lines will be on the left.
• Lay out and clear the bridle. {IMG}
• Walk out the steering (outside) lines and using a larks head knot, attach them to the middle knots on the trailing edge or
back bridles (remember, yellow-to-yellow; black-to-black).
• Walk out the white de-power (center) lines and slip each knot into the larks head loops on the corresponding leading edge
or front bridles (remember, yellow-to-yellow; black-to-black). Make sure that the de-power lines do not cross the steering
lines. {IMG}
• The lines should not cross each other or be twisted.
Your kite is now ready to fly
Please see the sections of this manual that relate to safety and make sure you are familiar with the conditions before getting on
the water. Kite tuning tips are located in this manual under Tuning.
