Why do you feel the bridle is a little screwed up? A mixer test would verify that. I’m unfamiliar with SK bars but the front the rear lines should be equal(on the Souls, the rear lines can be a couple cm shorter as long as you aren’t getting backstall) when the bar is sheeted in and trimmed for full power. Then you hook the two centerline lines to the gray, and steering lines to their green/red side.BigSky wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2019 9:45 amHi. I made the plunge and bought a quiver of FS Souls with SK Shapes bars. I"m super excited to get out on the water. I ent to the beach yesterday and the set up is very intimidating. One kite, a 6m, I bought used. It feels like the bridle may be a little screwed up but sure. How can I tell? I've searched for a video on first connecting the bar etc but can't find anything. Foil kites are non-existent around here so there isn't anyone I can ask or pay unless I drive several hours away. Any ideas? If there is anyone with experience in the Boston area I'm happy to pay. Thanks. BS

I ended up launching my cloud and had a great session but I want to use the foil kites. It was a crazy investment. I know I will love them but need a little help to get started. I've looked at the mixer test but don't totally get it.
You could start practising towards "backstall & walking rear-lines flagging self-landing" if your beach allows that.
