Did you by any chance start a thread about your problem on https://www.germancarforum.com/ :wink: My beach car is an 18 years old beat up Civic.....all the ropes on my 7 ba...

I am still curious as to how you determine that the plastic line had enough and has to be replaced? How about this idea like they do with toothbrushes When new the depower/safety lines are blue When they turn white from many hours of usage then it's time for new ones https://smedia.webcollage.net/r...

My best record breaking a plastic coated line is about 4 months Maybe you bought crap bars. Maybe the environment you kite in is harder on the rope than mine. Maybe you don't look after your bars.

Would have taken a lot more time. I can add. Great session in 10-13 knots OK my turn....i rig a 12 and the wind dies......
