2018 (or newer) OR KITE with 2017 (or older) OR BAR

In order to use a 2017 or older Ocean Rodeo bar you must first install the OR Bar Bridle 
Adapter Kit (which can be purchased from a dealer or directly from Ocean Rodeo) to 
the bridles on the kite. This will change the bridles so that the front attachments have 
knots and the back attachments have loops. Thus making it compatible with the older 
model bars.

Attach the OR Bar Bridle Adapters to the front and back bridle attachments on the kite 
using a loop to loop connection. When connecting the flying lines to the adapters use 
a larks head knot.

USING 2018 (or newer) OR KITE with 2018 (or newer) OR BAR

Pigtails on front and back flying lines should all be the same length (20cm). These will 
stay attached to your flying lines with a loop to loop connection. When connecting the 
pigtails to the kite use a larks head  knot.

Note:

 

For 2018 kites we have changed the bridles on our kites so that the front attachments 
have loops and the back attachments have knots. This has been done so that our kites 
will match the industry standard.
