Assembling the Bar and Lines
Assembling the Universal Control System
Assembling the Shift System
Preparation:
Pic 1-
Position your kite on the beach facing directly into
the wind. Place sand on the canopy. Layout the bar up-
wind of the kite. Place the Red side of bar on the left side
when you are looking down wind toward the kite. Make
sure the lines are straight and not wrapped, knotted or
tangled in any way.
Attaching the Shift System Bar and Lines:
Lay the kite across the lines approximately 5 meters
before the end of the lines.
Pic 2-
Attach the Grey control lines to the leading edge
pigtails.
Pic 3-
Move the steering lines outside of the kite and
attach the Red and Blue steering lines first using either
the Figure 8 knot or the larks head dependent on your
kite’s pig tails.
Pics 4 & 5-
Make sure all lines are hooked up correctly
and take extra time to straighten your lines before each
session as the lines will tend to be twisted. It is difficult
to see twist in the Shift line at the Red Bungee and Y
connection. Pay special attention to these points when
checking your lines. Look for twists in the Shift line.
Use the quick disconnect point to help untwist the lines.
Also look for twists of the Shift line around the control
lines just above the Y connection. You can use the larks
head attachment points on the Y Connector to untwist
the grey control lines.
The Shift Extension Line:
Pic 6-
On the end of the Shift Extension line you will find
a knot. Attach the Shift Line to the Shift Extension line.
Preparation:
Pic 1-
Position your kite on the beach facing directly into
the wind. Place sand on the canopy. Lay out the bar
upwind of the kite. Place the red side of the bar on the
left side when you are looking down wind toward the
kite. Make sure the lines are straight and not wrapped,
knotted or tangled in any way.
Attaching your lines to the bridle:
Pic 2-
Move the steering lines outside of the kite and
attach the red and blue steering lines to the back line
bridle attachments using the larks head. Attach the grey
front lines to the front line bridle attachments using the
larks head on the front lines. Make sure to keep the left
and right front line on the correct side, without twists.
Make sure that all bridle lines are clear and free of
tangles. Make sure there are no knots in any of the flying
or bridle lines. Make sure the pulleys on the bar and in
the bridle system are turning freely.

Fool Proof Flying Lines:
Naish kites are equipped with specialized flying line
connectors which prevent inadvertently attaching the
front lines to the trailing edge and the opposite. The
pictures above show how to use this feature. The line
connectors have a handy easy-open feature as well. Pull
on the black tab to release your flying lines after your
session.
