Two New Revolution Winder Designs by Revolution Kites

Key takeaways from this video

  • If your line management already works for you, there is no need to change.
  • The new card winder, longer, needs fewer turns and reduces knots; its extra slots give more ways to attach the lines.
  • The cap winder winds onto the handles, halves the walking and can stay attached to the Rev.
  • Card winder if you often swap lines and handles between several Revs; cap winder if you have one Rev, one line set and one pair of handles.

  1. Winder options

    0:00

    Hi, I'm Joe Hadzicki, inventor of the Revolution, and today we have a couple of winder designs to share with you. A quick shout out to our R&D team, Rob, Don, Mark, Ivan, and Eddie: thanks for all your support and great job. These winders are designed to give you a lot of options. Let's find the perfect solution for you. If you're already comfortable with your line management, then there's no reason to change, but if you're looking for a better solution, here are a few options. It's also longer, which means fewer wraps and less chance of tangles. More slots give you more options to tie down your lines. Remember, we're looking for your perfect solution.

  2. The cap winder

    Now let's push line management in a different direction with a cap winder. Some advantages: the line length is much longer, so winding can be much faster, and the coil thickness can be much thinner. You wind directly onto your handles, so this will cut your walk in half. You might even keep your lines attached to your Rev. Let's check it out.

  3. Which winder for you

    4:40

    If you're often swapping lines and handles between different Revs, then the card winder might be easier, but if you only have one Rev, one set of lines, one set of handles, the cap winder might be the winder for you. A lot of people will tell you they have the perfect line winding system, but everyone's a little different. What we want to do is help you find the perfect solution for you.
