Where can I get climax combat?
So I got my funds and now have decided on either another set of Flexi lines or possibly combat orange/yellow combo. Who is a dealer of this brand in
the US? I can't find any.
I love the Flexis but would like some more color combos- I love the Climax orange!
Also if you fly them let me know if you like/dislike
I saw the Qline 1st hand today at my local shop- too much overkill for me! Too stiff and thick so it will limit my winds.

I have not seen them live yet- are they like standard lines or are they like Q line -meaning stiff and have a plastic like coating?
Do you find them heavier than standard lines?
Thanks

Are you in a shop that is selling Q-Power for surfing? You may be looking at the Q 600lb test line. The 600 lb comes in regular and Pro - the Pro line
is much thinner (and higher cost) than the regular Q-Power.
But for a foil we use the 300/200 Q-Power - that isn't that thick but it may cost more that some of the lines you see.

"Climax lines are frost-resisting (to -36° C)"
Ricardo at RipSessionKites also carries Climax Combat.
Brrrrrr...... look for the hot cocoa coupons that obviously come with the lineset :wink2:

It was the regular 600lb orange stuff. The thing that got me was a spool-yes spool of 500ft was $24.99!! It looked like old stock meaning it was
sitting around for a while
I might just buy it to try it at that price!!

I have some climax lines available. They are super super thin. Complete opposite of the Q-line. I get my climax lines from a red bull addict who loves
to fly fast, so you know they don't have much drag or weight to them

Most euro riders use Climax Lines ... we are the Supplier for Canada and USA.
pros:
- using a high quality fibre
- using advanced braiding techniques
- using line enhancement processes
- highly visable colour - Orange / Yellow
- A tighter braid reduces line cross-section by more than 50%
- pre-stretched with max load, ZERO stretch
- UV resistant / salt water resistant / colour fast
Cons:
- requires sleeving
- different sizing system: 1daN = 2.2lbs
Sets come as 170/70 daN, 190/90 daN, 240/140 daN - in either 20 / 25 / 30m length.
colour sets, Dino @ Dakitez still has some of the lighter Orange - Power / White - Brake Sets, at a great price. If you want the Orange / Yellow sets,
he will take your order, and will be shipped direct to you from us.
my personal experience with them is a top quality line, dunno how they compare in price to other lines but they sure have lasted me a long time. I
have one set of lines that i take to NABX every year, and its been 4 years now and its still going strong. I had another rider in Alaska tell me how
many times he ran his ski blade edge over it until it broke.

Ricardo-
Thanks for the great info. The more I read about these lines the more I like them. The only negative I found through you is the need
to sleeve them. Dinos site says ready to fly- does he sleeve them? I wrote to him this afternoon about the lines/ colors etc. so I will work through
him. I do not know how you two are connected but someone will be getting some money!!

Edit-Ok- it would help if I payed attention to who I am writing to! I wrote to YOU [Ricardo] about the lines this afternoon and I see the post above
answers my questions. I got you and Dino mixed up. I also revisited Dinos site and see he has sleeved the lines. The only issue is they are 30m lines
and they are too long for me so I guess i will be looking at the orange/yellow combo through Dino. I will shut up now.:puzzled:

You make it stop raining and I will make me appear at Nahant!!! How about those winds today!?
I was in Brewster putting gas in my car at Cumbys and saw a huge pine tree come down from the wind! Must have been 50-60mph!

sorry ... i should have made it clear more clearer.
the linesets come Pre-Sleeved on a winder, READY TO GO.
if you brought in Bulk Spools, than you would be required to sleeve on your own.
we have this ready to go:
175 / 70 - 25m
190 / 90 - 20m
190 / 90 - 25m
190 / 90 - 30m
the heavier 240 / 140 is on back order, not many people require these. 240 dan = 528lb ... unless your buggy jumping. I used 175 / 70 the whole time
at NABX in those winds on the RIIs and Nitros. its okay to beef up, because they are thin enough.
sorry cant comment on the different line sounds. too busy going fast. i assume they whistle. LOL.
PS. just remember Dino wears the skirt. :moon:
