kite info needed on 5th line setup

Postby seann500 on Mon Sep 13, 2010 6:49 pm

hi guys
i am new to kite surfing have had lesson which takes me to 2h in iko
had a lesson with local lad at redcar beach called ian who was very good been out seven time with self launch
he managed to get me a board start at end of course(buzzing about that)
anyway enough about me
what i was wanting to know is i have a old cabrinha 12m co2(green thing draging me around chemworks) and was wondering what its made of.
'reason is' want to add a 5th line which was advised by a kitesurfer in perranporth who said i would have to glue some sort of patches so can attach line from centre bladder or centre strut
i just dont know what to use or what patch material think its decron but thought you guys know better than me
can any one help
thanks sean

Change this kite for any delta/sle from 2007 this kites is more saftly and easy to relunch, if you traning this couple of times. This kite what you have got not many person using.
You can find out some kites auction on ebay and dont need spend over 300 for kite bar and lines...
Think about it, you will save a lot of time to learn anything and you will be more saftly on water.

hi cezar
i dont want to change it due to fundings low
jammie advised me to get 2006 onwards but due to inexperience bought this instead
i am quite confident in low winds wont take out in big winds because only learnning,
i have used hybrid kite on my course and found easy to use so i know what you mean
but i have to keep this kite till save for newer kite
i just dont like the depower system thats why was asking question
appreciate your input advise and know its hard kite to learn with but thats better experience for me
and i am stubborn will perserverer
if i get 5th line setup would be ok
