Recommendation on how to choose kite lines

It's crucial to have the appropriate kite lines for your precious kites.

Kite lines are based on both kite sizes and wind ranges.

The bigger the kite, the stronger the wind, and the higher the tensile strength of kite lines is required.

Here are general recommendations for choose of kite lines: fly in the wind range below 12MPH, delta kites measured in wingspan.

  • 50lb: ~7 Ft Delta
  • 120lb: ~9 Ft Delta
  • 200lb: ~13 Ft Delta
  • 300lb: ~15 Ft Delta
  • 500lb: ~20 Ft Delta

Colorful Kite String - Increased Visibility

By adding strands of contrasting colors, you got dacron kite lines with colorful flecks by emma kites that are highly visible:

  • On the Grass or on the sand: where we usually enjoy our flights, kite lines can be easily seen by kids and adults to avoid being tripped over by accident.
  • In the Air: the bright colors significantly increase the visibility of the kite line in the sky, especially when flying on cloudy days. So Bright and Eye-Catching!

Perfect for Your Single Line Kites

  • Single Line Kite Flying: Dacron lines, safe, durable and low strentch, are widely loved by kite fanatics to fly single line kites, including delta kites, box kites, flowforms, airfoil kites, etc.
  • Versatile: Dacron lines are strong and durable and are uses to withstand loads in a variety of hobbies, crafts, both household and industrial applications, including but not limited to flag halyards, foredeck netting, even light air spinnaker sheets on smaller boats, and etc.

Low Stretch
