Hi,

I recently bought a Slingshot Fuel 2013 9m. The kite is great. However, I´m used to 23m line length, and this one came with a bar set of 17" with 20m lines.

I found it different to jump.

I would like to know your opinions on this. Wouldn´t it be better with 23 ml length lines? The bar size I think it´s ok.

Thanks

I like my 2011 on 23m lines more and that's what I use, but I am more into unhooked. For jumping I prefer shorter lines, as I find it easier to hold me edge while sending the kite.

Mmm...thks. Its just that i wasnt flying high enough...and that's not normal on a fuel!

For jumpig I'm totally agree with you..but why do you prefer "longer" lines for unooked???more slack???more range???

But how come for jumping, you prefer the longer lines? Probably it´s just me, because i´m really used having 23m lines, and the 20 m set, really doesn´t feel right...
