Hey, i was wondering if theres a way to stop lines from tangling after you pull the safety quick release. the main problem seems to be once you pull it the kite twists over itself and generally makes a mess of things.
Any suggestions?

but it is good practice.(for untangling lines)
all long serving kiters have done it heaps.

A really gnarly birdsnest line tangle takes about 1/2 a 6 pack to sort out.

Go the 5th line or use a center re-ride system and run your leash through the chickenloop... Have it run alongside your powerstrap down the back of your bar (not through it) and thread the leash through the chicken loop before you launch and hook into your chickenloop... When you release every thing will pull through the center and you decrease the amount of line tangle dramatically. I've used it for years untill I went 5th line...
