Howdy! just after some advice on my new north rebel.

So i have always used north kites and i normally just put my safety leash straight onto my chicken loop. However i thought i would try out the 5th line on my new rebel. My first big crash i pulled the bar back in on the 5th line, connected the bar but then it seemed like i had about 4 meters of the 5th line i needed to feed back through. The kite turned on itself a few time before it took off and whipped the 5th line through my hand, and gave me a massive jerk.

my question is, what is the correct method for the 5th line relaunch or does every one just hook there leash onto the chicken loop?


It seems a lot easier and quicker to just hook onto my chicken loop but I'm about to start riding my board with boots so i kinda would like the max de-power.
