I currently connect my leash the standard way to the yellow bungee cord which goes to one of the centre lines. On a couple of occasions I have accidentally unhooked while on the water and caused the kite to depower completely, this is fine however when its time to recover the bar its usually 10-15 meters downwind and is hard to get to.
By the time I get to the bar I have about 10 meters of centre line all around me and feel like its wrapped around some part of my body or has a knot in it, its a huge effort and timely to relaunch the kite.
Is this yellow line connection intended for when your getting used to the kite and then switch to a different configuration or am I missing something when trying to recover my bar and making it harder for myself?
Try hooking your leash to between the two black plastic balls on the depower line. When/if you drop the bar it'll pull the depower rope to 100% and the kite will fall to one side of the wind window but i'll be much easier to relaunch.
