A device is provided for managing lines of a kite which device is securable to a control bar of a kite and has a line attachment portion. The line attachment portion having a plurality of kite line retainers for detachably retaining lines of a kite. The device is secured to the control bar by an internally cylindrical sleeve having a longitudinal opening. Opposing portions of the sleeve adjacent the longitudinal opening are biased towards each other, and are elastically flexible to allow insertion of the control bar while frictionally retaining the control bar once inserted. The kite line retainers are formed as a slit in a circumferential direction with respect to the sleeve, which slit is formed to frictionally and removably retain a line inserted therein. In one embodiment, a stem extends radially from the sleeve, the line attachment portion residing at the distal end of the stem, the line attachment portion being formed as a longitudinal member perpendicular to the stem. In an alternate embodiment, the kite line retainers for retaining the lines is formed on an outer surface of the sleeve.
