Swivel System
The swivel of the chicken-loop (swivel system) allows you to cancel any twists on the front flying
lines and on the leash. To cancel the twists after a jump with one or more rotation(s), simply spin the
bar first to cancel the twist on the rear flying lines, then to pull down the bar. The act of pulling down
the bar relieves pressure on the swivel and allows it to automatically rotate, cancelling any twists in
the front lines and the leash.
Adjusters
The adjusters of the rear pre-lines allow a quick and precise adjustment of the line lengths.
Depower line
The depower line can be changed easily without tools. You just need to make a bowline knot to each
end of the depower line on the metal D-ring of the streamer, then to fix the D-ring of the safety
system with a lark's head knot. The original depower line delivered with the bar is specially designed
to resist wear.
Streamer
For better safety, the streamer is reinforced with a second webbing.
Leash line connector
The leash is connected to the plastic covered grey line. Pulling on the leach line connector makes it
possible to neutralize (de-power) the kite on the ground. This action also allows a relaunch when the
ESKIMO is leading edge down on the ground.
Flying lines
The ESKIMO is delivered with 4 25m flying lines.
