Linesets - Recommended Manufacturer?
I have local access to HQ linesets, and know that I can get others from our friends here but I'm wondering what the skinny is on which are best, which
are best value, which are best for land, best for water.

Shanti / Climax / Ozone / Vector / Q-Line
I'm a big fan of Climax lines myself. Not because we sell them, but from personal experience.
The powerlines are Orange / brake lines are white, come presleeved on a winder.
High Quality lines that are probably a little more pricer than most. But i've never had a line break, with one set i'm managed to beat 3 years at
NABX, driven on it every weekend and even pulled and tugged through thorn bushes.
comes in different lengths from 15m upto 45m ... we are currently Out of Stock for 2 weeks. =(
Shanti: see Coastal / AWOC / Eli
Climax: http://www.ockert.net/drachen_e/buggy_combat.htm
Ozone: Eli
Vector: http://www.vliegerop.com/index.php?inhoud=product&id=142... (most PL Dealers carry these)
Q-Line: http://www.powerline-sports.com/main.html
hope this helps. :tumble:

I'm about to stock Q-powerline.
I also have Shanti in shorter lengths for smaller kites.
Nothing wrong with HQ Dyneema colored sets, though.

If you get Q-power you probably won't be needing to purchase another set of lines for many many years.  The beauty with Q-power is that you don't need any sleeving at all. Just tie a figure 8 in it and go.
IMO, Q-power is the best power kite line you can buy.
Shanti / Laser Pro Gold comes in second for me and is preferred for all my stunt kites.
Dyneema will work but it doesn't have near the strength / stretch resistance of 100% Spectra or Q-Power.

Q-Power seems to be a well liked lineset on this forum....am I the only one who thinks it's a little too 'stiff' and seems to 'sticS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-
together when unwinding the lines and preparing to launch???
Love the Flexi and HQ lines myself!
