Hi Everyone,

I am a snow kiter in Svalbard, Arctic.

However, one of bridle was broken recently. Attached the pic
I did search online to order a new bridle line for replacement. However, it costed about 30 euro to get a single line.



I wonder if there is cheaper option to get this bridle repair / replace ?


Snowkiting in here is amazing.

Had to google where Svalbard was - wow, awesome location!

Is just one of the bridle lines broke?

Paraglider line replacement shops might be a bit cheaper. It usually runs about 20usd (16.50 euro) shipped to your door here in the states.

Yes, there is one bridle line broken so far

Looks like snow kite heaven!

I'd think on an island above the arctic circle migth find some spectra fishing line. That would work fine. TBH - if you just tie the ends together with a knot you probably would never notice the difference.

If he just ties the ends together that line will be shorter than the others and will be noticeable. If he pigtails the lines together or splices a line between the break, that would work or just replace the whole line with spectra. q-power, or some other suitable line available at most marine stores, kite outlets, paraglider outlets, etc. that would work.
