My lines got tangled and someone untied the knots in the bridle where the fifth line attaches to the kite.. There was two knots. I have tried to google it but cannot find the righty way to retie these knots. Please help

... sorta hard to type it out in words, much easier to show you but here goes anyway:

Assuming you have the Y arrangement, as in, there are 2 lines that are attached to the leading edge which come togeather to a small thicker blue rope which has a knot at the end where you usually tie the 5th line from your bar??? I think they had the douple nose line arrangement from 2010 onwards so I assume this is what you have.

- Align the 2 nose lines ends togeather so that the loops are togeather, one on top of each other.
- Grab the short thicker blue rope with the knot in it and open the loop up.
- Thread the 2 nose lines through this loop.
- Now make the 2 nose line loops bigger ie open them up, and thread the short thick line with the knot, through these 2 loops.
- Pull tight and you should be done.

I hope this helps.

cheers,

Robbie :)
