Initially I thought the same.

front pigtails are too long however now flying all 3 V's fine off
the standard setting on a best 60cm bar is OK, sometimes for Nukin
winds I have made a 2nd knot about 4 inches shorter on the front
pigtail for less travel to depower when the winds were gusting to
32knots last monday and I had the 13V out on the water.

Its a sweet kite
