Depowering
hi, i recently bought a wipika airblast and it seems to have a system on it to depower the kite using sum sort of pulleys on the side of the kite on
the trailing edge and the kite came with four extra lilnes plus the normal four used for flying. two of the extra line have a set of two lines going
into one, can anyone help me out?

hmmmm, could it be a 5th line system? or leader extensions? anyone else hazard a guess of what it is? How long are the "extra" lines? How thick
are they, like the regular flying lines or smaller/bigger diameter?

Sounds similar to the adaptive bridle on my Jojo Rage. Its used to facilitate turning. When pulling back the power lines on one side, it relaeses
additional brake on the other.
Maybe it's the same setup?
