Contact Powerzone or FixMyKite.com and see if they can help. They can probably get a bridling diagram from the manufacturer, fabricate your bridles and mail them to you. If you're not comfortable attaching them yourself, you can ship them your kite and they'll hook it up for you.

Here you go:
http://www.powerzonekitesports.com
http://fixmykite.com

Both sites have a contact page you can fill in the info and get an answer to your questions.

You don't need a bridle you need a pump.

What I am sure of is that you need to start with a smaller / newer kite if you have no previous experience.

That is RTZ and me that feel that way. I am sure that everybody who knows this kite will tell you the same. I owned one in 2005 and it was " old technology ".

Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.

matty,
what the kind folk here are trying to say is: this is an old kite, that was never meant for beginners - even when it was new.
the majority of pilots here are "safety first" and we are always concerned when we hear/see newcomers (you don't mention your experience but don't know that there is no bridling on this lei) putting them into a position of risk.
listen to bladerunner: by todays standards, this kite is dangerous for beginners. if you search through this forum you will find MANY threads that recommend a 3m fixed bridle kite as a starting point. there are also many of us that suggest - and use - a helmet and body armour.
be safe - good luck




Go ahead... tell me to "go fly a kite!" Please!

Howard - used to be KC67
Fly: A quiver of Lynx' and Cores (did someone say "Pansh"?), a couple o' Arcs, and a Rev to remind me about control

Matty, it would help if you let everyone what your plans are for the kite and I would get rid of the kite if your unsure on its set up and start with a trainer kite to learn the ropes. If kitesurfing is your goal and you have an older kite that you are unsure how to set up, then that sounds like a recipe for disaster. Take it easy and get a kite you can safely learn on while you research what style of kite will suit your needs.

Warning... Warning... Danger Will Robinson, Danger!

As others have already said, if you don't know how to hook the lines to the kite, don't know how many lines there should be and what type of bar this kite needs to be flown on, than this is not the kite you should be learning on, if progressing in the sport is something you are serious about.

This kite will require assistance (from another person) to launch and land, requires a 4 line depower bar and a harness. Hooking in to an aggressive kite with limited depower compared to today and requiring someone else to always be present is not great when trying to learn.

I'd second the advice of others. Get a smaller, 3m four (or 3) line kite on a bar and learn to launch, land, fly the kite. Learn the wind window and then you'll have a lot more fun.

My concern would be that you take this kite out and either get so scared that you quit or worse off get hurt or hurt someone else and have to quit.

Whoever sold that to you was irresponsible. You won't really find many (any) people like that on this forum.



Depower Quiver: 14m Gin Eskimo, 10m Gin Eskimo III, 6m Gin Yeti, 4.5m Gin Yeti (custom bridle and mixer)
Fixed Bridle Quiver: MAC Bego 400, JOJO ET Instinct 2.5 & 5.5, Lil Devil 1.5, Sting 1.2
Rides: Ground Industries
