The Active Bridle
(or the cop-out!!)

Also known as the dihedral activated bridle this version continues the improvements of the turbo bridle and attempts to nullify some of it's disadvantages - such as the difficulty in tuning the bridle.

I will not attempt to begin to explain the minutae of the dihedral bridle, nor it's enhanced version the trihedral activated bridle. To do so here would be too close to duplicating the work of Andy Wardley - their designer. Instead I provide here a link to his pages where he discusses the bridles in depth, and thank him for his great work in this area of kite building. These bridles, or variations of them, grace nearly every professional sports kite being produced today.
