Pansh lines are terrible. I don't know why you'd want to buy them. Some of their kites are okay, but not their lines.

naw they are good for a small beamer.
they just dont have a coating, so they tend to tangle easy.

They also stretch. Both permanently (resulting in mismatched line lengths) and dynamically (resulting in a spongy handling).

+1 pansh line sucks.
For good on a budget lines check out Climax Combat lines.
Also Coastal Wind Sports has some HQ lines on clearance 4-Line Set Dyneema 220kg/ 100kg, HQ. I don't know if he will ship to UK but it can't hurt to ask especially at that price.

You won't find good lines at a better price than those. Angus ships worldwide. Those light lines shouldn't be too bad to ship.

These are old school plain white Dyneema with all black knotted sleeves. Looks like the line ends were flecked with a sharpie pen for left/right
marking. $30, or $43.45 USD shipped to UK 6-10 days

Pansh lines have never given me stretch issues, but then again I don’t buggy, i guess if you got allot of weight in the GUT, plus the weight of a PL
buggy with heavy tires thrashing around in deep sand would sufficiently crap out a set of pansh lines 
im going to check out those other lines though.
im so glad summer is almost here.:roll::roll:

Those HQ lines are gone, it appears, but I just re-priced some older (but real nice) Shanti Spectra sets
All White and knotted but sleeves are color coded left and right and good Shanti Spectra line...
http://www.coastalwindsports.com/servlet/the-345/ine%2C-quad...
Had these made when Ted Dougherty was selling off his last ProFoils.
[edit]: not trying to Spam, but since someone else posted them (thanks) I have been getting lots of emails and U2U's...

I had a set of those Shanti lines on my profoil and they are very slick and tight. Highly recommended.
