How much power or pull can I safely expect against 300lb lines??? Or do I need a solid 25mph winds??? I've had my Rush up in 27 knot, (31)mph gusting winds, but I wasnt being scudded, was to busy just keeping up with the speed of the kite... It Rocks at 25+ ... Should I get heavier lines??? Im still iffy about 300lb lines, guess its the mind over matter thing, they dont look like they'll hold 300lbs...

Those winds should do it. HQ makes a 175kg/ 385lb 115 ft set that might give you more margin of comfort as the lines get use and wear.
