5/4 ULLB 14m/raceboard

Gentleman's kiting at it's best. Thanks to Billy for getting me a bar with 31m lines. Makes a huge difference in the light wind. Couldn't even get out of the bay with the standard 24m line set. Came in and changed up and off I went! Tuesday was 7m with 19m lines and Wednesday was 14m with 31m lines. Both fun in their own way. So how long are these line sets? Let's do a little conversion for us Americans.
19m= 62 ft.
24m= 79 ft.
31m= 102 ft.
So.....I was unable to ride initially with a 14m kite and 24m/79 ft. long lines. Switched out to 31m/102 ft. long lines and I was able to ride. 23 ft. longer lines made all the difference. Billy rode a 12m kite with 29m lines btw. It was Zephyr wind.

Yea, longer lines makes a huge different in light wind. Gives you more low end.

I wish I would of brought my raceboard. I thought it was going to nuke like yesterday.

I had to leave early to a family committment.
