Seems this 5th line concept is turning up everywhere

The bollocks on RRD sounds interesting...stalling the kite to ride the wave more.
Any of you resellers out there have any info or gear that can be viewed. Will all manufactures be offing this soon...will bars be coming out that can be rigged up to your existing kites ?

y yes no wind so I've resorted to reading about kiting

I have rigged 5th line on a Caution 16m. Can demo it anytime if your interested.

I know Caution is working on an official 5th line system and I expect most of the 2005 kites are going to be coming out with similar systems.

The system I have setup is fantastic and a huge improvment for LEI's in my opinion.

Seems as tho all the new kites will hav a 5th line system. Naish will be havin it on their new kites and we saw BEST testing out their 5th line system also. Its definitely gonna be an advantage.

Jan, I'm keen to have a look at your system in action. How about Pt Walter sometime?

Were you there Sunday? I saw a Caution kite but didn't notice a five line setup.

Go the Cabrinha Recon if you still can't re launch, it still have 4 lines system and alot less hasle . Or even better check out the very latest Cabrinha system, not yet in Aus market but sure to be a big hit with their standard kites. Can't tell you much about it yet but I heard it through the grapevine and again it blew my mind.

I'd like to check out or experiment with this system. Is anyone in Melbourne playing with it? Can I take a look?
I can see on the RRD post the pully system but where on the leading edge does it connect - or does it just join both fron lines?
