hey puppet, need you to quote on a job for me at my place, give me a call on 0404637147

If you've never dropped your kite, your not trying hard enough !
To hear your knee go POP ruins a kite trip !
Sucide leash's and onshore conditions are a interesting combination !

Hi Guys
You can download the Naish Shift System Manual from here
www.oneopensky.dk/page-not-found
and rig your own from that, this system is the same as Norths 5th E, but I would go for the rig posted earlier it's much easier to rig and just as good.
The trick is to get all five lines the same length and set your nose lines correct for each kite, the section in the manual shows how to get this length right.
The fifth line should be set just loose when flying normally, but this changes in every kite so you need to tune it.
If you just want the fifth for relaunch and leash leave it quite loose and it won't effect the kites normal feel at all.
If you want to see how your kite performs with 5th helping rigidity tighten it up until it just becomes tight.
You also need to set a bar stop that keeps a little tension on the flying when you release, this stops the kite from hovering upside down off the water when you release. The stop should be set just a little shorter than the length of the nose line. If you use the same bar for multiple kites then this stopper need to be adjustable and repositioned acording to the kite you a using, just mark 5th line for your different kites.

Hope this helps
Cheers
Pete

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the explanation.
I understand how to tune the 5th line (not too long, not too short) with the stopper ball.
Is there a trick how to move the stopper ball from one position to another (according the kite is being rigged)?

For a movable stop the easiest way to do it is to put the line through a ball around and through again. This is enough to stop the bar as there is very little load on it, if you want you can go around and through again.
You can also get stops with screws in them, cleats etc.
Note this is for the released bar stop not the fixed one setting the 5th line length use a knot for this one.

Cheers
Pete
