Kitesurfing Lines

Postby Msebastyan4 » Mon Nov 10, 2014 2:02 am

Hi Guys

Im looking for any info about kitesurfing lines, whitch one is the best, Just want to buy full reel and start doing my own lines because sets are expensive enough and buying each seasson is pain in the ...., had some info already how to splice etc but need more info about lines itself , and some info about shops in Europe where could I buy it.


Thx

Its probably easier, cheaper, and less dangerous to purchase a decent set of lines from Switch or one of the stores dumping older Slingshot line sets. The nwkite forum has some great articles on building your own lines and the toughest part is the line stretching.

nwkite also has some great line sets advertised now and then.

Q-Power. No sleeving needed, no tangles. Cheap. Enough said.
p.s. search this forum for tips on how to tie it, measure length etc. etc.

Why are you replacing your lines every year?
