Core Safety SkillsBar Trimming
Over time, kite lines can stretch unevenly and are often one of the first parts of a bar setup to wear out. This can cause the kite to pull to one side, backstall, or respond unpredictably, which can become a safety issue. Checking your bar and line lengths regularly helps you catch problems early and keep the kite flying predictably.
