SLE KITE baR.

Ocean Rodeo “SLE” kites should be used with the SLE
kite bar.

We recommend you read and become familiar

with the contents of the SLE bar manual in addition to
this manual.

The increased de-power of the SLE kite design can only
be realized when used with a bar that offers excessive

sheeting control as offered by the
SLE Bar.
For up-to-date information on this bar
please visit:

Line Lengths and Tuning

All lines must be of equal length when measured from
bar to end of lines with the center line un-cleated and
fully extended. With all lines equal the kite will perform
well and look like the kite pictured [

Note Wingtips are parallel.

If the rear lines are shorter than the front lines the kite
will be prone to stalling! It would look like the 2nd kite
pictured [

Note

Wingtips angle inwards towards rear of kite.

Line length can affect turning and power of kite. Optimum
line lengths are 15m to 35m. Shorter lines increase kite

Wingtips parallel

Wingtips angled inwards
