Most guys roll one tip at a time. I dont understand why.... Its like setting your bar and lines upwind when you dont have to.....????
I grab both tips and roll.
North riders usually have to refer to their instruction manual![]()
Seriously Dave though if you are being serious how do you physically grab both tips and roll man. I'm always looking for ways to do this quicker?
Yep I'm with Dave on this one, deflate the kite then just fold the kite in half so wingtips are together, any bridles tucked in between, then roll from the wingtip to the centre.
pull the deflate valve, grab both wingtips and fold in half. you roll once instead of twice, and keep the sand out of the inside of the kite.
Hardly ever deflate more than my leading edge cos I can get so much kiting aroung where I live. Also, leaving struts inflated a) allows a wet kite to dry if I stand it up in my kitesurfing shed and b) means less pumping to get ready for the next session.
Yes, I understand that if the temperature increases dramatically that the air could expand and damage the struts, but NZ does not get the massive temperature fluctuations like Australia, due to the regulatory influence of the surrounding ocean.
I win ![]()
Not an option here. Well some do but I can't, have been known to get up in the middle of the night to let down struts. It's a neurotic sickness probably.
Regardless of which way you roll fold or sit on your kite...
Every now n then use a variations to reduce the common crease lines on the material and the bladder... theyll inevitability become weak points
Like is so much gonna watch it again. Just to see the stupid look on that bald headed chicken farqers face, when all done.
Is that your technique sub?
Dave, that's just wrong...

eppo, it's a good one when you can't pack up off the beach. Easier with a small kite than a 14m though.. ![]()
No **** just tried it with a 14m got myself in a bloody mess and had to pack it the normal way. Lol.
Ps you guys are shocking, cause its true. Lol.
Pss you got red thumbed, not because of the roll technique its because you had a crack at north riders. The mass mob it is descended on you like an avalanche of possessed demons.
Psss don't believe me watch the red thumbs now! Omg help you if you bag precious north kites. Lol
