You may want to consider 4 line with handles ? If riding hooked in is the reason for 3 line then handles and a strop ( line between handles ) are the way to go.

Do you have a reason for wanting 3 line ?

Depending on your budget, you might also want to consider looking at depower kites. If you are riding a landboard, most folks I see are riding depower. More expensive kites, but larger rideable wind range.

I'm a noob on land. My Mountain board is in the mail!! On snow I ride a 12M Ozone frenzy. I just oreded a 2009 Ozone 8M. My water kites are epic renegades 6M 9M 11M. I'm used to a bar so i wanted to stick with that. The 3rd line would be for safty and re-launch. You can totaly ride the 3M on the black top at the balloon park. It will also pull be a trainer. When I feel I have grown a pair I will move to the field and step up to a bigger kite. When I get up to 4M and 5M, de power would not be a bad idea. I'm looking for used but not used up.
