Key takeaways: Standard Lengths: Most common line lengths range from 22 to 25 meters. Impact of Length: Longer lines increase power but slow down kite reaction time, while shorter lines offer faster turning and response. Extensions: Adding 3-meter extensions is a popular way to increase power slightly. Extreme Lengths: While some riders experiment with lengths up to 30 meters for maximum power in light wind, going too short (below 20 meters) significantly reduces power and is not recommended for most riders. Manufacturer Recommendations: Following the manufacturer's recommended line length for your kite is generally advised, as they have extensively tested the optimal setup. Line Inspection: Regularly inspecting and cleaning your lines is crucial for safety and longevity.
Is it true. Longer lines gives you more hang time in light wind ? I will try it with my EVO DLAB 12m it came with 25m lines I’m thinking about adding +2 m ?
