“Time to bend it like Beckham, quite literally, as we bend our lines around a stationary object so they run in a “V” pattern and allow us to actually stand downwind to interact with our kite while controlling it through a ring or pulleys…”

  1. Looking on the image and seeing the handles of JB I find two unexpected things. First I thought he was in favour of long (top) leader settings (here he is only using half of the length), but then I don’t know about the bridle of a Djinn – perhaps you don’t need long leaders when piloting a Djinn? The second surprising thing I see are the long handles. During the quad clinic in Denmark 2018 he instead used quite short handles (must have been shorter than the 13” handles that came with the 1.5 Revs) with little curvature (or did the curvature just appear small because they were short?).
