Get a Q-line spool, make extentions etc...
I would not recommend BEST lines becouse the last ones I personally saw were circa 2000 quality. At something like $25 it would be an option but not wasting time searching for.
Q-line is good! Strong, tangle risistant and easy to make becouse they do not require sleeving....
I highly recommend NAISH lines but understand they are very expencive... I have never broken a Naish line, where as I broke lines farly often in 2000!

As someone that sells q-line, I have got to say that not very many people use it. I have seen a decline in q-line advertising and market share... I have used it on our school kites for years without issue, but not many people go with it.

I installed the Best lines and rode them yesterday in the bay. They work just fine, so I'm a satisfied Best customer now. Their prices were the lowest of any I could find.

Did you get the standard white ones or the colored ones? I agree that the colored ones were kind of funky - super thin. The white ones are fine, I never had a problem with them...

I suspect Q sales my have slowed becouse most kite manufactures lines have improved so much in the last few years. Overall I think everybodys stuff is better. Naishs current stock lines are bullet proof for example.
Years ago, I recall line falure was pretty common!

I bought the white ones. They've got two hours of use so far, so I'm down to just $46/hr :)

Just FYI - we have the 25m RRD lines with white / red / green colors for $98 in stock. They also include the stopper ball.
