LINE LENGTHS
For light winds (0 - 10 mph) use shorter lighter line. The wind window will be more narrow and the kite will fly better.
For higher winds (10 - 20 mph) use longer stronger lines. The wind window will be much larger. The kite will move faster, pull harder, and allow you more room to maneuver.
