Hey all
Just looking for some advice..

I Fly a 3.5m and 2m flexifoil blurr kites. My beach is very hard and im not heavy so this is great size for me... blows like stink too.. anyways.. I went over my lines with ices skates and ruined them so Im going to order a new set. The lines I fly are the lines that came with the kite.. 25m. was thinking maybe get a 20m? Would i notice a difference in this? Ive only ever flown 25m. Maybe I should stick with what I fly...

your thoughts would be great!

- Shorter lines will shrink the wind window.
- The kite passes through a reduced power zone which reduces torque and power.
+ The upper wind range is increased.
+ A decrease in line drag.
+ An increase in response to control input.
