A control device 10 for controlling a kite steering arrangement includes base 12, a control bar support 20 extending along the base, a control bar pivot point 22 mounted displaceably about the control bar support for pivotally supporting a control bar 24. A pair of interconnecting members 26.1, 26.2 extend in between opposing end regions of the control bar and the base above the control bar support. The length of the interconnecting members is adjusted by pivoting the control bar about the control bar pivot point and/or by displacement of the control bar pivot point relative the control bar support. A tensioning mechanism tensions the interconnecting members to exert a pulling force on the control bar. A base pivot point allows pivoting of the base about a horizontal axis thereof. A base rotator 28 allows rotation of the base about a vertical axis thereof. A manipulator 30.1, 30.2 manipulates the base pivot point and base rotator for aligning the control device with the positional orientation of the kite and/or kite connecting lines when in use. A communicator communicates adjustment of the interconnecting members to the kite steering arrangement for adjusting the kite connecting lines and/or actuators at the kite accordingly.
