BACK LINE TUNING
(FOR KITES EQUIPPED WITH THIS ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM)
SHEETED IN
The back line is released and the forces go
through the front connector. The bar pressure
increases and the maneuvrability is less
direct. It offers a very progressive bar with a
feeling of a sheeted out back connector while
we sheet in, therefore the pressure increases
progressively.
SHEETED OUT
The kite tilts and the back line stiffens. The
tensions move to the trailing edge which has
several effects:
¬ less flapping
¬ better start
¬ maneuvrability with less pressure.

HIGH TENSION TUNING
When the kite is sheeted out
with the upper knot tuning (1):
¬ kite's maneuvrability increases
¬ bar pressure reduces
KNOT 1
KNOT 2
LOW TENSION TUNING
When the kite is sheeted out
with the lower knot tuning (2):
¬ kite's maneuvrability reduces
¬ bar pressure increases
