Hey,

Just looking for some guidance on what to look out for when buying replacement lines for my kite?

I bought some second hand gear with slightly frayed lines, while learning to use it I ended up snapping a line and looking to replace it.

Thanks,
Liam

Thanks for the info, I'll check out the site as I'd like to replace them all considering their condition.

don't replace one , replace all of them as the line stretches with age your new line will be much shorter than the other 3 and the new line will have more spring than the others . Like above said take to your local he will sort you out with right stuff .
