Always wondered what the pull was on each line.
Fascinating video... 64kg = ~ 141lbs.

Cool video, and info.

The kiteboarder weighed about 165lbs. So 141lbs is about 15% less.

And looks like the center strain gauge was for the center line, meaning each of the front lines would be about 1/2 of that.

Good find, thanks for posting.
