line length...

Following my last message I was wondering which line length I was supposed to use with a 5.5m foil to buggy...

30 meters (90 feet) is the most standard line length for kite surfing and buggying.

Ride high,

this is in response to lazaar?
1st what is your #age on your lines? top & bottom
2nd the longer the lines the longer the reaction but I:o that you have a 5.5m anything Lger.than a 6 to a 6.5m will feel like it will take an hour to turn. the shorter the lines the shorter the reaction, but there a give and take on long lines,
long lines will give you more reach in light winds but insted of me sounding like a PHD. prof. I used 300# on top &150#bottom @ 75' in winds up to 40+ to as low as 4mph hope this helps
