Hi Everyone,
This probably sounds like a stupid question but ive got a 2013 north 5th element bar with 19m lines I want to put extensions on it so I assume all 5 lines would be extended the same amount? and does the 5th line size need to change if you use it on different sized kites. It will be used on an 8m and 12m Vegas. Im only asking because I saw someone somewhere mention different 5th line lengths for different sized kite? Thanks

Also can you get larger chickenloops to make hooking back in a bit quicker?

Hey Wallis,

Yes all 5 line extensions need to be the same length.

Bigger kites will need the bar to travel further than a small kite when you pull the release but only a little bit. Your bar will have enough travel for the largest North Kites so will work with any smaller one as well.

Thanks for the reply. Will 5 meter extensions work good on an 8m 2012 Vegas total of 24m or would that be a bit too long. I wantto start learning wakestyle and kiteloops. Have been using an old waroo up until now.

Last thin you want to do is make the lines longer then...?
