I absolutely fucking love how you took the time to just walk us through with baby steps. Thanks for adding value, very much appreciated. Going to try to this tommorow. You have my thanks and appreciation sir!
Most informative video i ever seen , this is simply gift to entire community of kite surfers, thanks a lot Buddy's, hats off to u for this amazing video
Very useful info guys. Good knowledge well relayed. I also instruct and have 25 years experience, from kite buggying and kitesurf and often talk about line issue you have detailed here. I go through the same details as you have talked about. Particulate ingress into the line, salt and sand will also cause shrinkage, these particles won't wash out either. Also, another front line stretch issue is your best side for jumping, downturns and kite loops will stretch a front line and cause steering issues and drift. The initial issue of the issue is the lines are pre-stretched at manufacture and eventually the line will start to relax and shorten. Line shrinkage has been an issue on kite pully bridle lines too. You may have noticed some kite have very pulled in wingtips, mostly noticeable on North Dice, I was losing about 75mm per side of the bridle. Love and understand your lines, after all its the most critical part of your kite system.
Very clear advice Perfect for both long term kiters and beginners alike. Side not: I had the chance to see you teaching at Pinnaroo on my last trip to Australia. I was impressed by the friendliness and well mannered staff you had and by your own beachside manner. Watching you guys using what believe to be the bbtalkin system your students always appeared safe, happy and under no stress. As a result of what I saw on the beach I recommended a number of people to use your services. Keep up the good work on the videos and on the beach.
Really nice video and practical information. I have a new setup that's been used less than dozen times. New to the sport, I was unaware of how significant the stretch/shrink really is and plan to monitor this closely.
I've found giving the short lines a long soak in warm fresh water 15mins + physical stretch works nicely. They will shorten again in time as you stressed.
one of the best line adjustment tutorial i just didn't understand how the front line trim should be when your comparing the length of all the lines together
I don't understand how shrinking back lines can cause excessive tension in the safety line. Safety line tension seems to only be a function of the length of your "load line," i.e. the one that runs alongside the safety line from your splitter to your chicken loop. In fact, you resolved your safety line tension at 12:54 by shortening that load line. So how does back line length factor into it?
Mate, that was the best, clearest, and most detailed explanation of how to tune bar lines ever. Really appreciate it, thank you!
The full scope he goes through is impressive. Thanks dude!

Lengthen the front lines with extensions
