I have seen on a few websites things which claim they cn keep your lines perfect after every kite? Do they actually work? i have been looking around for somethign like that, so i can maximise my time in the water! Any ideas?

Before you pack up, lay your lines out as if you were going to connect them to your kite, then roll them up. Works a treat.

Its Called a Turbo Launcher and it works perfectly.... Faster to wind up at the end of the day than normal... and all you do is pump up ur kite, connect the lines, and then walk out to the launching position and your launched and ready to go!
My mate Padi can be out on the water in around 5 minutes from when he pulls up in the car...

send me an email and ill let you know where you can get them for $59!

I had a look on the site. It looks practical, but also has a decent price tag attached for such a small item. The turbo-launcher doesn't look like its for me, but the Line-manager, and Time-manager look good. Which is better out of the two?

I find if i wind my lines up flat it works just fine.

i have a four line kite, and if i wind up my lines flat (1 to 4 next to eachother) between myforefinger and thumb it generally works a treat.

I've got an unloved (unused) line manager, make an offer!

You could always use the FS method and keep your lines attached to the kite!

I use the four finger method, for winding and unwinding.

The little 2 gadgets dont work as well, but the line manager is the best i think...
