Sorry for the spam, Already posted in buy and sell and no luck.

Please contact me if you can help or know where I can buy a new set.

I've contacted Cabrinha directly and had no luck!

I've got a 2008 cab switchy 8meter kite that I have not used for a long time, $300 if ya want that. Got the bridle attached, looks in pretty good shape.

Buy some 3/4mm amsteel and just make your own replacement. Take one side off, make 2 bridles the same, then replace first one and then the other. Bridle ends can just be granny knot loops, they do not need to be sewn. Use 2 knots close together if you are not good with knots (Fig 8 knot would be better).
You can but the line here www.kitepower.com.au/
Its a good idea to replace the pulleys as well, they are cheap, and if the line has worn out the pulleys should be replaced too.

Thanks for the replys, Kitepower I ordered some of that but its on of the regular line pieces thats broken.

Cheers stabber will get back to you, I know that there are different lines for different sizes, do you have an idea how interchanging the lines would affect performance/handling or are they just completely imcompatible?
