Kite Bridal Snapped :o(


Hi All
Little Bummed.. Broke My Samurai 3m.
Caught a gust and snap! lines broke from left handle up at the Kite..
Problem is it Ripped the left side of my Brake Lines Off from the Kite. All 6 thin white lines.
I now need the lines all the way back to the loop..
Whats this part called, and Where can I find it??
Thanks much

Yikes! From your description, it sounds like part of the bridal came off or broke? :o

You might want to give the US distributor, windzup.com a call. The factory may want to get a look at your kite dude. These things are supposed to be bomb proof.

I got yarded with my 3m samurai by a dust devil at El Mirage dry lake last year. Some described it as "abducted by aliens", as I went flying still hooked in with my harness. No problems with the kite still. Your "gust" must have been something else, eh?

Yeah, that kite needs profesional repair, dont try and repair it yourself, the briddle lines have to be exact.... or else the kite wont fly right and you can get hurt.....
I have repaired briddle lines in the past but it takes alot of trial and error.... especially the brake lines, the problem is the lines arent all equall legnth since the kite is on a radius...... you dont wan tto make a mistake.
It should cost that much.....check with the distributor.......
