Mine hardly stretched all year, which I think is a good measurement of quality (I bought some cheap lines from another brand that stretched a lot.) My only complaint is I wish they were 3 colors instead of just 2. |

i was in the hood yesterday, so I bought some pretty gay orange lines at the windwing shop.
btw...while I was in there, the guy working there was on the phone ragging on the new waroos trying to sell a new windwing kite to the guy.
some of the remarks I heard were, "flutters more", "tries to invert more", "slower than the 06", and a few more I can't remember...
anyone try the 07's?
what about the new windwings?
(i'm really not trying to turn this into a brand war, i could care less) |

wind wing, I thought they were out of bussiness. Your new wind wing lines are going to stretch a few inches. be prepared. my front lines from them stretched like 6 inches on the front of a fuel. (probably was the damn kites fault though...tooo much power) |

i always tie the new lines to a tree and give them the old lean-back (one at a time, wearing the harnass). at least gets some of the new line strech out of them so it doesn't vary that much for the rest of the season.
first time i did this was it was after dark, near a street lamp at the edge of a park. some kids walking down the sidewalk saw me from a distance but couldn't see the lines. "look at that dude - he's doing moves from the matrix!" they weren't so impressed when the got closer and saw i was cheating. |
