The line is broken ???
  • The line is not strong enough for the kite size or the wind force.
    • The line delivered with the kite is suitable for a wind up to Beaufort 4 or 5.
    • For stronger winds , you must use stronger lines.
  • When tightening, the line has rubbed on a abrasive or cutting obstacle.
  • The lines are full of abrasive salt or sand grains. You must clean your lines after using.
  • The knots are badly done and reduce the lines strenght.
  • You have done too many turns in the same side with a strong wind.
  • Nota 1st : a knot reduces every time the strenght of a line. Consequently, a line which breaks from the middle part has rubbed before.
  • Nota 2nd : a too strong line makes the kite heavier and makes its performance lower. So, it is logical to use several lines for the same kite, depending the wind force.
