Hello,

I just got myself a second hand shockwave. the previous owner told me that he change the bridle setting ;the kite is currently flying but compare to my rev 1.5 stock it does not feel right.
I would like to set it to default value, is there any document to set the bridle with default settings, I tried to Google it but I could not find anything for this particular model.

Thanks for the reply, I know they do not feel the same way and they are quite different but I have always been happy with the stock bridle setting of my 1.5, I never adjust them and it always feel good.
The previous owner did not really mentioned why he modified the settings but now I measured that some lines are not exactly the same measurement on the left and right side and I would like to set it right .

You can purchase a factory replacement bridle for $12.00 usd. It will fit into a normal envelope and can be mailed for appx. $2.00.

Shoot me an e-mail and we can get one out to you.

Thanks I will do that if I can't find set default settings. I am quite surprised that those settings are not easily available.

I believe part of the reason you can't find dimensions for the bridle is because messing with bridle settings is somewhat akin to alchemy; if you get it wrong the results can be hazardous and volatile. I understand you aren't adjusting but rather trying to fix it, but I would recommend purchasing a new one.
