Replacing kite lines

[Karlos101]

So, i have pulled a old old Cabrinha switchblade 9M out the bag and the kite is fine but the lines are a little .. worn i would say, i would rather replace them that regret it!

 

Question is! ...

 

i cant find anywhere with a good guide on what strength line to use, i do have a set of lines new laying about but i cant for the life of me remeber what strength they are.

 

Does anyone have a guide to line strength to use and even some links on where they buy line from.

 

THANKS!

powerkite shop ozone do a set of 4 x 500kg breaking strain ! and will last a long time ! 80 odd quid last time i checked

wouldnt 500kg lines be quite thick?

 

i have some 340KG lines and some 460KG (advertised strength)

 

the 340KG lines look exactly the same thickness as the ones i want to replace, the 460 ones are quite abit thicker than them.

 

this is going to affect kite preformance i expect.

 

im no PRO so i dont jump often and when i do its not high lol so i wouldnt say i Stress the lines a whole bunch

 

 

Thanks for the Reply.

Anything above 300kgs will do. Give the guys at kitesurf center a call. They make various sizes n strengths lines.
