LINE LENGTH ADVISOR

The length of Duotone flying lines can make a huge difference to the way a kite flies. Different styles of riding, different kite models or the kite size are influencing factors that require different line length. In order to achieve maximum comfort and to receive the best performance of a kite, it is essential to match the kite and the rider’s style of riding to the correct line length!

WHAT IS THE “THREE-LEVEL SAFETY SYSTEM”?

Every well-designed bar has a three-level safety system. If one of these levels on a bar is not fully functional, this can result in a life-threatening situation for the rider and any other people involved. 

1ST LEVEL – LETTING GO OF THE BAR

Letting go of the bar results in the kite’s angle of attack adjusting to a minimum. The kite should almost completely cease pulling, falling powerless into the water. (For more information on angle of attack click here.) 

2ND LEVEL – QUICK RELEASE

If the quick-release system is triggered, the kite completely loses all power. Tension is lost in all except one of the lines and the kite completely ceases to pull. Here a 5th line is slightly safer than a 4 line bar because a kite on a 4 line bar may continue to pull slightly in some cases. 

3RD LEVEL – SAFETY LEASH

If the kite does not stop pulling for some reason after the quick release has been triggered, the final solution is to disconnect completely from the kite by detaching the safety leash. This option should only be used in an absolute emergency as it results in the complete loss of the kite.

FRENCH NORM

The Duotone Trust Bar and Duotone Click Bar both comply with the French Norm: 

- the force required to release must not exceed 100 N (9.8 kg)

- the release process must not exceed 0.5 seconds

- the change from driving position to release (grasping the quick release system or the safety leash if you have both hands on the bar) must not exceed 2 seconds

- the quick release grips must be red and the release direction must be indicated

- it must be easy to reach the quick release system

- the Iron Heart must be able to handle forces of up to 360 kg without distortion or any loss of functionality

- the same applies for the safety leash up to a force of 180 kg

These systems have been tested in the toughest, sandiest, saltiest conditions we could find.
