line lenghts help needed

[wayne L]

hi peeps im not a novice but just had one of my steering lines snap on me mid flight.

i have decided to get all four lines replaced at the same time time.i have stripped all lines from the bar and getting 19m for the front lines and 21.5m for the rear lines.the kite is a switchblade 3 and flew great with the lenghts stated.

i have been trying to source info on what they are from manufacture but cant find line lenghts anywhere for said kite.anything that does come up be it ebay or google search dont have these sizes as a set.any help would be greatly appretiated,the kite is 12m on an ids bar no pullys at bar just 4 on the bridle system.all measurements taken from loop to loop.

cheers in advance

so 19,m and 21.5m so the difference is 2.5m extact then ,

 

make sure you have enough room to lie all the lines straight, depower strap let out fully ,and the bar pulled fully back to the chicken loop

so the difference between 19m lines and the 21,5m lines should be exact 2.5m if not adjust

will do that later laid a 1m template in front room and measured in 1m sets

but will measure later outside

Have you seen this Switchblade 3 - 2008 - Cabrinha Kiteboarding 2015 Season

[skimmer]

what year is the bar?

[Danni]

I think the measurements on the link are wrong.

[skimmer]

Yer its just meant to be meters not cm, but im pretty sure the line lengths would be the same on that bar. I think he may hav a 2009 or 10 bar, both hav different length lines as they are both high y's

That's the bar I have 2009 ids has a high y correct and leaders on end of bar as shown but I can't find the correct length of lines.may just have to get a 19m and 21.5m set made up from somewhere see how it goes they are the lengths as best I can measure that I was using on there.who makes custom line sets ??

[skimmer]

There's a guy on ebay who would prob make them up. Kitemare repairs might be worth a ring or the kitesurf center.

[wind-seeker]

i think this guy will make up custom lengths, look like prety good quality too, the guy kitesurfs himself so knows his stuff

22M KITESURFING AND POWER KITE LINES 4 X (2mm) DYNEEMA | eBay

[wayne L]

yes i see that one wind-seeker sent him a pm

i have the ids bar with a 2.5m leader section on the centre lines that has a saftey ring at the chicken loop, this is the bar with the above line lenghts. and used on my 12m switchblade 3

i also have a bar same size but its the cabrinha powerdrive (2) no pullys, this doesnt have the 2.5m centre safty but a punch out system. the lines on this are brand new and all 4 are at 23.65m (random i know). so i think it is possible to fly this bar and lines with my 12m also.

the new ones are from my 14m switchblade which is i think 2010/2011 still brand new not used
