kite line choice?
 
I am in the market for some new flying lines for my 2008 10 meter Switchblade. What is a good aftermarket line that others are using? I would like the ability to add extensions (maybe a 22 meter + 2 or 3 meter ext.). Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

In the past when my factory supplied Spectra line wore out, I would cut my own Q Line, tie figure 8 knots in one end, prestretch each one (you need to do this, use some strength too), cut them to uniform length, put in figure 8's at the other end and good to go. You can buy Q Line in 500 ft. rolls pretty reasonably at around $135. USD. You may need to shop around for the best price.

One roll should set you up with 4 - 22 m lines with a variety of extensions. There is no need to sleeve and sew Q Line unlike Spectra. It is stiffer than Spectra, which can be an advantage once you grow used to it. http://www.powerline-sports.com/pwr.html
