Hola Amigos,

So I am a beginner flying the Wainman Hawaii Boss. One of the most annoying things is that my leash is constantly getting wrapped up whenever I fall, eventually putting tension on my center lines. I'm looking for a way to attach my kite to the lines under the bar. That way if I ever need to spin my bar I don't need to worry about the leash getting wrapped up around everything.

Anyone have any advice?

Thanks,

Matt

Woops, meant to say attach my "leash" to the lines under the bar.

Thanks.

If you got it brand new it

If you got it brand new it should have come with the "red line" that runs from one of the center lines through the middle of the bar and then through the ring on the chicken loop. But I still reccomend keeping the leash attached direct to a center line if your just beginning but its your prefrence.

Agreed

Unless you're already doing spin tricks, there's no need to have your leash attached under the bar. Attach it to a line that provides total depower if you pull the OS handle. I believe on the boss that would be one of the center lines, but I could be mistaken.

Hook the "mini 5th line" up

There are a few parts with you kite kit you will need.
1. Red "mini 5th line" with loop on one end
2. Bare Stainless steel O ringnm
3. Stainless steel O ring with nylon loop (this is attached to your chicken loop)

Hook the red "mini 5th line" up to the O ring on the bottom of the swivel assembly. Run that through the center of the bar and through the O ring attached to your Chicken Loop. One it is through the Metal ring you can tie the other metal ring to the end of that red line. Hook your leash to that metal ring. That will be a below the bar "double depower" system.
