The Line Manager eliminates untangling lines and saves time by only walking the length of your lines one time!

How it works:

Loading
When you come in from a session, snap the lines into the Line Manager in the order that they attach to the kite, detach the lines from the kite and wind up your lines.

Launching
Simply attach lines to the kite in the order that you snapped them into the Line Manager, detach the Line manager and put it in your pocket, unwind your lines, notice that your lines are set up perfectly, launch and ride!

Advantages:
You no longer need to lay out your lines, walk back up your lines to the kite while fighting tangles, hook up your lines with the possibility of crossing lines, then walk back to your bar again. That's walking back and forth 2 times more than with the Line Manager. Plus, you don't have to fight tangles any more!

Sounds like we could use one of those "lime managers" at work
we go through way too many limes, all those lemon lime and bitters, vodka and limes, gin and tonics, and mojito's add up, and i am sick of cutting them....

They do work pretty well. Especially when you get "told off" for launching on the cliff top at Seaford when there is not enough beach, with these you use 90% less area.

How does wrapping your lines around a plastic tube use 90% less area, you still need the same area for your kite and to lay out 30m of lines

1. You don't wrap the lines around a tube......
2. The idea behind the Line Manager is that you never have to lay your lines out as you do when setting up. Smply attach the lines to the kite as you do and walk to the launch possition unwrapping as you go. No tangles or crossed lines.

i enjoy the thinking time I have while untangling my lines.
and teaches patients.
my kites came with something similar and smaller that you could strap to your bar/wrist. just one more thing to loose really.
one a plus there's always someone out there trying to come up with something to make things easier, or make a buck
