North Kiteboarding Bar
Kitesurfing Bar Care
Tip #1 Inspect your kite lines for knots, nicks, and abrasions every time you set
up your bar. If a knot is new and did not tighten under tension, take the
time to untie it before you fly. Do not try to untie knots that have been
flown, doing so can weaken the kite lines.
Tip #2 Pull the chicken loop down (depower) and wrap it around the bar
before winding up your lines. This will keep your chicken loop out of the way and make winding your flying lines easier.
Tip #3 Be sure to unwind all 4 or 5 lines off the bar at the same time.
Tip #4 Check to make sure the 5th line is free of twists from the kite to the
bar.
Tip #5 Check your kiteboarding bar chicken loop for wear and replace it before it’s on its last leg.
