Shortening kite lines
Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2005 1:16 pm
I tried searching this topic in the "search" box, and found out that this function isn't exactly pinpoint accurate (sorry, Ollie)... I'm sure someone has written about it before, but...
I snapped about 2 ft. of line off a single one of my lines, and I am hoping that I can just shorten the other three instead of buying a new set. I know that wave riders often shorten their lines. How do you do it? The sleeves on the lines are sewn on. Is there another way other than to cut off the existing sleeves, buy new sleeves and sew them back on your shortened lines? What is the secret?
Thanks for any input,
Paul
