STEP 3.2 - 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.
• (POWERDRIVE CS) Walk out the Frontline (red) line and attach
to the Frontline bridle. {IMG}
• (CROSSBOW CS) Lay out the Crossbow 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.
