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.
