Just got my son a couple of SM kites (8m & 11m) along with an X2 bar. I didn't even realize you could change up the lines like this, so I'm really glad I watched the video. Thanks!

Nice talk about line length, I'll have to try it out. The change in length has to be done on a non windy day otherwise things might mess up 🙂. As another viewer writes, it would be interesting if you take up a discussion about material choices in your kites, boards and bar.

I just purchased a DreamstickX and it looks awesome. Didn’t even know you could fold the lines out of the box. Cool feature. Question for you though, why didn’t you put the little white line on the bar from the factory? Is this just to save cost? Wondering if I can just put this on the bar right away so I don’t lose the white line. Looking forward to trying this bar out along with my new HTF 12m.

Short lines eliminate the hesitation caused by line drag. Think of line length like the gears in your car. Riding only long lines is like always being in 5th gear. I teach beginners on 5 m lines because there are no consequences from mistakes. You can't get lofted, dragged downwind and can't tomahawk your kite. In 50 knots it's easier and safer to ride short lines too. Lou Wainman was riding 8m lines over 20 years ago. I usually travel with 3 bars - 7m, 15m and 22m

Question. I’m teaching my daughter…. she’s 8 & has an Ozone Uno 6m. She can fly the kite. She’s moving to body dragging on the next holiday. I’m about to get the lines shortened from 20m… as 20m felt wild for her… any recommendations?! 13m , 16m , 18m ? Want to ensure the gear has longevity & doesn’t kill her chance to water-start. Please let me know. Thank you 🙏

Have you guys seen that dude at Cape Town who went out and did a mad loop on like 2 or 3 meter lines😂 I actually thought it was Kevin at first cuz it was a Reedin V3 with the O’Neill logo

I was wondering, how does it impact bridle positions on the kite as angles are changing with line length.

I don`t believe that you can loosen up the knots in the line when you have been kiting for 20 or 30 times in 10 minutes. The knots will be so tight that it is almost impossible to get them loose with only your fingers and no tools on the beach. It is a nice bar thoug and i like it a lot ......

If you grab very close to either side of the knots and push together while wiggling them it seems to always work for me. Takes a bit of technique, bit hard to explain

Hi Hans, we regularly convert bars that have been used quite a lot - always washing them with fresh water after a session definitely helps! Having small loops keeps extra drag in the air to an absolute minimum, which is worth a little extra squeeze in our opinion :) Happy to hear you like the bar!
