4. KITE SETUP

4.1 CONNECTING THE LINES

Separate the bridle system:
Be sure that there are no tangles in the bridle system. Lay the bridles system on the ground with 
the front connection inside and back connection outside.

CONNECT

Unwind your lines from your bar laying them out parallel to each other making sure to remove 
all twist starting from the bar.

You will notice that the line ends are colored. Each line end is colored and labelled so it’s hard to 
make connection mistake. Please make sure you connect the lines well.

Its always better to check twice and act once!! If things are connected wrong the kite can 
respond improperly when launched which can be very dangerous.
Do the connection with a larks head knot.
