Been using the Naish 5th Line Shift System, it works really well and it's easy to setup and you get no twists in the lines, You can self-launch and self land the kite and and the water relaunch is so easy, But the down side is that Naish are not cheap.

Hope that helps

Cheers

had my best yargas with the 5th line on for a year now, works really well ;easy relaunch off the water and the land and to top it all the kites are not expensive!!!!!! and still built like naish quality.

A KITE IS FOR LIFE!! THAT IS IF ITS A YARGA.

Thanks for the replies, I have been looking at a Naish kite and will probably go for that.
