Want to know the best way to avoid tangled foil kite lines?

Don't fly a foil? Haha.

If you already have the bar you can cut the lines and splice in new loops. It's pretty easy to do.

Firstly I don't want a replacement. Secondly I do wash my bar well after every session. If I don't the lines stick together when I rig and it makes it annoying. It also seems to make the lines last longer. I don't however treat my kites as well....

I once spent 6 hours dealing with a rats nest in my lines (one of my first sessions after lessons I dumped it in the surf and pulled the safety). I spent about 30 minutes on the beach trying to sort it and then undid the bar from the kite (and this is where I screwed up) and went to a pub to finish ...

Not pulling depower before self launching too deep with it light enough to not hurt you and you loop it into the ground with no damage but your ego and maybe a shredded kite. Tether if possible off of something very stationary. Even jn really gusty stuff walk the bottom bridle up and load the sail a...

I find the FX to have light bar pressure but I haven't flown a park or torch. I like the kite but your results may vary. It's somewhat vague feeling but very lively.
