Agreed with lowbalman23 this system was pioneered by John Holzhall in Maui and now in Cabarete, and has helped many new kite boarders (like me since 2008) get into the sport quickly and safely without being overcome by the sheer array of different kites, kite sizes, line lengths and the rest of the kit; big props to him for delivering this originally alongside his kites method. Glad to see bigger companies are now moving this way, but please give respect and credit to it's founder where due!
Nice job on the video...both Dave and the kite are looking good, but the short line concept ain't new and it works on any kite. With that said, you guys are doing a good thing for the Sport, New Kiters and all the people who are scared to death at the way new riders are learning to kite...good luck...jh
short lines rule! I like his quote at the end: "A rider closer to his kite is a rider more enlightened."
After 10 years of kiting, kiting was almost (hate to say it, but..) getting boring for me but after switching to 10m lines a year or two ago, it made it all fun again...

Thanks to Method Kites founder John Holzhall for pioneering the short lines since the early 2000's. Glad to see companies are now following suit.
