This week I was using my new Dice 9m2 with my brand new Trust bar 2018 with 22meters lines (4-line setup) for the first time. After +/- 1 hour jumping session, the yellow 'strong middle line' snapped suddenly. The kite started to loop and I had to quick release it to avoid looping further. Before switching to North Kiteboarding, I was always flying Core GTS kites and Core bars that didn't have this very strange issue, especially when brand new.
What is furthermore strange is that this snapped yellow line is 17cm shorter then the line on my second Trust bar with 24 meters that I have for my new Dice 12m2. The 'strong middle line' is normally 6 meter total length on any bar/line combination. I cannot imagine that this 17cm is gone due to the snap.
Apparently, I can order this 'strong middle line' on the North Kiteboarding spare parts website. Of course I informed also the shop where I bought all my new gear to get a new line under warranty.
I 'm wondering if others had a similar issue with this 'strong middle line' as it is called in the North manual. Furthermore I appreciate it if somebody could share an instruction how to easily replace this line with a new one? I want to do it myself after this incident, definitely to double check that all lines are in good shape.
Many thanks in advance
