In addition to front wings, there is huge variation in stabilo and fuselage length. Flat wings and stabilo allow easier slide into pivot and yaw. A stabilo with some curvature or winglet is more locked in to carving. Some even had a fin to put on the fuse like an airplane tail.

There was a fried chicken joint in Augusta, GA called "King of Wing". They really did know how to fry chicken.

Dacron sleeved lines are sold by companies whose kites have beefy double braid line terminations. Flysurfer terminations on the kite and bar lines are thin spliced UHMWPE with no sleeve an...

Whats the breaking load on the line? Also, if you have a polyester covered double braid, the polyester may cut through the dyneema lines on the kite. I would be more inclined to do something like this on a rear line or up in the bridle. Less likely on a front flying line where it may need to support...

I had the 5 out with HF yesterday in gusts to 30 knots. I would have enjoyed a smaller kite but the wind was building and I was already out. It was remarkably well behaved with luffing only in the extreme of depower.

+1 on easy relaunch for the Boxer. We just pull one rear line until it rolls up. Never had to do opposing front and rear lines. I would definitely retrieve the board and sit on it before doing any kite manipulation. Mostly to keep it from sailing away or running down to foul with the kite. Its possi...

I used a nylon thimble with spliced Amsteel on a bar trimmer. Was not bad but a little bulky. Much less movement in that setup compared to kite pulleys. Im a big fan of the Ronstan Orbit Blocks at the kite.
