The extensions are long leaders attached your handles, replacing the leaders that are already there. It's even more important than upgrading your handles.

Search the forum, or someone will post a link, for adding additional brake with leaders attached to your handles.

Just read the opening question.

Concentrated on what I was doing the other Day, I found I also tend to roll the handles in my hand at times. Strange!!

I feel the answer to the question is almost another question, a bit like "Why do I stick my tounge out when I am concentrating?"

I think the handle orientation theng helps you concentrate.

One of the reasons is that I used to fly with a girlfriend and now she is no longer around. I realized now I need a stake!!

Well you have clearly learnt the most important lesson. If you use your girlfriend as a kite stake more than once then she will go and find another boyfriend. Women, they're fussy like that

What mike said on the leaders. Look for Kitelife's recent post on brakes and all sorts of other stuff here:

Buhahahahaaaa.....actually I left her but VERY funny none the less .

After searching for a while last night I managed to find a pretty good explanation on the "lead lines". I kept searching for "lead" rather than "brake" and voila!!
