It does seem more convenient to stake down the kite controls, then walk the kite downwind and then stuff the emptied bag into a pocket - no muss, no fuss.

I remember Jarv first posting it. Hes a nutter.

Yep, Parapacking wins for me. Just shuv em in the center of the kite in the bag, and shuv the handles down the other side. Only problem is when it rains and the wet lines stick to your hands as you push em in, you also pull em out. To solve this problem is get an extra large stuff sack with lots of space when you put the lines in.
Also unpacking, you can beat any winder to set up by staking your handles and RUNNING out with your bag.
Another tip is to grab a good length of lines when packing away , the lines go in a lot quicker. I dont bother to figure 8 or anything and the lines still come out tidy.

i LOVE parapacking!! funny thing is,i always have newbies watching or flying with me and they always say"those lines you stuffed in there are going to come out tangled really bad--then i show them how fast it sets up and they are just amazed!!really a great time saver .....who wants to spend alot of time messing with lines etc etc when u could be flying:wee:
