I am new to kitesurfing and have been using a 2011 Cabrinha IDS bar with a Griffin Argonaught 2012 kite.

I have deployed the dual line safety system a couple of time and lets just say it didn't exactly make me feel safe.

I have a couple of questions:

1. what is a mini 5th line ? does that mean that after the swivel I should make one of my front lines slightly shorter then the other ? (currently they are exactly the same length as I thought being a different length would affect how the kit fly's)

2. would it be worth setting up a 5th safety line and where do you attach this safety line is it the center of the kite? does anyone have a link to a good instructional on how to set this up?

Ideally if I had the money I would just get a new single line flag out set up but any information you can provide on making my current setup as safe as possible would be great.
