My take on this is, variations in line length are easily compensated for in the travel on the trimmer and the bar. Check your trim a couple of times a year, particularly when they're new and any settling is likely to happen. This is consistent with paragliding manufacturers who recommend re-trimmin...

I have asked lifeguards in multiple locations and the only answer I have gotten is that it is allowed, but must be away from beach crowds.. including even Venice - they told me it's ok to launch at the south end closer to the marina.
