just a picture of my home-made connection 0.8mm vs 1.1 mm I did on my sk99 lines ; the aim is to have the 3 first metres with a thicker line to resist the wear during loops:
Hi Ieism check this link of the dutch forum with a nice read through on making your own lines. This made a lot of sense and had some great tips by guys who are in the business for a long timeieism wrote: ↑Fri Jun 17, 2022 12:54 amThanks for taking the time, that helps a lot. I've ordered a splicing kit from premium ropes that comes with a length of their line to practice a bit.
I understand this is not easy, but I'm pretty patient and good at this kind of stuff so I'll get it right after enough practice.
I tend to use very small kites as I only foil freeride/wave with single skins and hardly loop at all. I have two bars that are worn, and one that I want to extend. And I foil quite a lot so the lines just wear a lot more than the bar itself.
keep in touch, and get loads of practice in, the very thin line is the hard stuff to work with, 4 mm line is a walk in the park, too easy,ieism wrote: ↑Fri Jun 17, 2022 12:54 amThanks for taking the time, that helps a lot.
