A while ago someone posted a vid on how to tune your lines properly and it was really well done I wanted a refresher as I am putting 19m lines on one of my bars and cant find the vid anymore, could someone please repost or send me alink and I will save it this time for future reference. Thanks

Thanks for that, I appreciate your time.

How good a little info can be. My Bandit 4 10m kite has been a real pig lately, back stalling in light wind a real problem. After asking a fellow kiter on the beach if he knew what the problem seemed to be, I agreed that yes the back lines where to long making it too underpowered. This didn't help and after looking at this thread and watching the Seabreeze how to article I have my kite working better than it ever has. (After doing exact opposite I originally thought I needed to).
So thanks for the help.

Hi Guys
Noob ... seeking some input.

I recently purchased new kiting gear - 2013 Best Kahoona 11.5m with Best RP Bar. Went for my first solo session last weekend with the new gear and found the kite to be highly unresponsive. I had previously used a 11m North Neo kite during my lessons, which was quite responsive.
As per instructions in the Best manual, I had hooked up my back lines to the lowest knot on the rear attachment lines on the kite. Compared to all the other kites around (mostly North kites), my back lines were drooping quite a significant amount. After struggling for a bit, I walked back to the beach and reattached the back lines to the highest knot, and finally found some steering control.

I've checked my lines since (as per video - thanks for link guys), and they all seem pretty even.... so the question is, is it normal to have a heap of slack in your back lines on the recommended knot?

Could I have not pumped up my kite enough? Wind speed was fairly light ~17knots.. could this have also contributed?

Thanks guys

Thanks wvb. I also came across the following video... just adding here for reference.
