thanks

Anyone flown the 2021 Torch or Dash then ? Kiteworld Magazine seemed to really like the 2021 Dash, can't find much on the new Torch.

SK78 and SK75 Dyneema are also more than suitable, this is what most lines were up until a few years ago.

RRD is not Q-line but same type of straight strand dyneema, very similar.

You will struggle to splice 1.4mm line, buy it from a shop that can sleeve it. You 100% need sleeved kitelines (except for Q-line) contrary to what I often ...

I would cut the damaged Ptex layer off with a very sharp knife, sand the edges down. Buy a Ptex repair candle stick, melt the Ptex on, once it's set give it a slight sand again. The damage is only to the Ptex layer and not structural. https://www.datawax.com/ski-snowboard/ptex-repair-candles-clear?l...
