TUNING YOUR KITE
UNIVERSAL SYSTEM
BRIDLE TUNING:

More grunt

SHIFT & UNIVERSAL SYSTEM
REAR LINE ADJUSTMENT:
The following is a general guide for what your kite will do
at certain knot positions. Do not hesitate to try several
different combinations to find what suits your style best.
Attach the outside flying lines to one of the three knots on
the control bar's extension lines labeled A, B, or C.
Knot A:
The kite will be somewhat depowered when your
arms are outstretched. Push the bar away from your body
for even less power. The kite will fly at optimum trim while
the control bar is close to the quick release trim loop. You
will be ready to unhook at any moment for power moves.
Knot B:
The kite will be fully powered when the bar is a
few inches from the quick release trim loop. This position
will allow you to be fully powered when your arms are in
a more extended and comfortable position. This setup
retains a good amount of depower room above the bar,
and puts you in a more ergonomic body posture.
Knot C:
This position allows you to ride with the kite fully
powered when your arms are outstretched. This setup is
great for one-handed jumps. Pulling the bar down to the
center loop will oversheet the kite.
Caution:
This setting does not allow the rider much room
to depower the kite, compromising the ability to sheet out
completely. Only advanced kiteboarders should use this
setup.
BAR END FLIP:
Your bar has a plastic piece that can be removed and
flipped 180 degrees to change the effective pull point of
the steering lines. Pull down on the tab to pull the plastic
piece out. Because the piece has the flying knot going
through it, you will only get it to come part way out. When
you have enough slack, turn the piece 180 degrees and
reinsert into the slot. Carefully align the piece back into
the slot to get it to fully reseat. Repeat on the other bar
end so that the knots are either both to the inside or
outside. The bar ends will flex under load and give you an
effectively new bar length.
