Confused About Setting Up Lines on My Rush PRO

I can't remember how to rig my HQ 250 lines. I have lines on the trailing edge that I don't know where to attach. I have used the trainer once and went to use it again today. When I got to the beach and got the trainer out I had four lines on the trailing edge that baffled me as to where to attach them. I couldn't figure out the diagram in my field guide.

Attaching the Lines...
by: Glen - KiteboardingEvolution.com

Hi Karina,

Thanks for your question. Would you be able to upload (or email) a picture of exactly what's confusing you? You can send it to info (at) kiteboardingevolution.com, and I'll upload it here.

Basically, the third line on your kite is the one that runs through the center of the bar and will attach to the trailing edge of the kite. At the kite itself, the third line will be attached to multiple points along the trailing edge, but each of these lines will attach to each other (further away from the kite)and form one line. It's usually colored grey. You want to attach your third line to this line, after all of the smaller bridle lines have joined as one. There should be a series of knots along the line, and you probably want to attach to the 2nd or 3rd knot from the end of the bridle line.

Is this what you were asking about? If you could send a pic, I'll be able to answer your question completely.

Thanks, and talk soon.

Attaching the Lines...
by: Glen

Hi Again Karina,

I have uploaded a shot from the HQ Kite Manual that comes with the kite and shows how the lines are attached on the kite.

In the case of the third line, it is segments 12, 13, 14, and 15 in the image. The third line bridle is segment 16, and you want to attach your third line (part 13), to part 17.

Hope this clears everything up, and just post any other questions you might have!

Cheers,
