LOST KITE
Is there any drawback to rigging a leash to a front line? Like a potential death spiral or something?Why not rig a leash from a FRONT line through the bar to an attachment on your bar ?
I'm currently trying to turn 2 older bars into 1 better bar and this sounds like a potential way to spin the bar and have a leash.
Globe:
While we really don't want to shut down a beach for something preventable, don't forget about the cost of beer tooAnd ya... leashes for me from now on... definitely not worth putting a beach in jeopardy of being closed, nor is it worth the abuse on my gear.

Thermals are good.

Some of the 06 Bars come with an optional leash attachment to one of the front lines. For self landing\highwind.
I think to, that it depends on the kite, which line will flag the kite better. (least amount of pull and least amount of spins while flagging.)
There's always the way of the fifth line. Everyone I've talk to that has that set up likes it.
