Starting at the kite, slowly walk 
backwards while unwinding your 
lines. Walk in the opposite direction 
of the wind, this prevents line tangles 
and enables you to launch easier and 

ster. 

When 

 unwinding your 

 

lines, make sure the lines have a little 
tension to straighten them out. Place 
your bar flat on the ground with the 
correct side up (red colour on the 
left). Make sure all leader lines are 
untangled and not hooking behind 
any part of the bar. 

Walk back toward the kite with the 
lines between your 

 to remove 

any twist or tangles. Place the lines 
flat on the ground in a straight line.

Attach the flying lines one by one us-
ing larkshead knots. 

LARKSHEAD KNOTS

our fying lines can remain attached to the kite at all times. In 

case you need to take them 

 re-attach them to the bridle 

loops using larkshead knots.

ke the sleeve of the flying line, and make a larkshead. Slide it 

over the knot on the end of the bridle loop. Pull the larkshead 
tight and slide it towards the knot on the end of the bridle loop.
