Just noticed it today as i was going out, it's where I attach the safety too so if it snaps bye bye kite...
Anyway was wondering how I fix it, anyone know of any youtube guide or anything or is it a simple fix?
Here's some pics:

Your kite manufacturer should have stock specific to the brand. The problem will reoccur I used to fly slingshots with the same problem. I took mine to a sail maker (or kite repairer) and he replaced it with a heavier duty spectra... Have a look at cabrinhas bar and how they've done it.. i don't give a toss about my brand vs your brand but cab simply has the best bar on the market....I can't understand why companies continue to use rope on such a heavy friction area... Good luck....
Fixed it for you

So you keep buying spares!
Just get some dyneema from a chandlery or ask them for some thing specific for high abrasion shouldn't cost more than $20, just make sure to make it the same length.
It is my safety line thats frayed, Might just buy another bar so i can get out tomorrow! Also good to have a spare I guess lol.

The safety line is easy to replace, you should be able to get something like the original line at a yacht shop ot a good kite shop, its 3mm amsteel.
Looks like your centre line in the pic, but also hard to tell from the pic. Buying another bar is a bit exxy, but having a spare is OK if you plan to stick with that brand. Their safety system will not work with many other brands, and kites that require a single front line flagging safety system.
