SKYTIGER INSTRUCTIONS
Flying lines
LINE LENGTH:
Skytigers are designed to perform well on line lengths of between 25 and 40 metres. Your choice
will depend on the activity and the local conditions.
Inland sites are usually prone to gusty winds and turbulence caused by obstacles. In these
conditions it is advisable to use 40 metre lines to allow the kite to fly in ‘clean’ air.
Open unrestricted areas like beaches usually have ‘clean’ winds and shorter line lengths can
be used. We do not recommend using lines shorter than 25 metres.
The line length will influence the way the kite performs. Longer lines will slow the kite down (due
to increased drag), but can lead to greater power being generated by the kite (bigger power
band). Shorter lines will speed the kite up, but can lead to less power being generated by the
kite allowing the same size kite to be used in stronger winds.
