Universal pigtails in UK or how to DIY?

[szert]

I have multiple brand kites with the loop and knots on lines the other way around. Trying to avoid swapping the pigtails on my bar when switching kites.

I've found this cheap solution:

The only issue the postage to UK costs more than the pigtails themselves

Do you know if anyone selling these in the UK?

Or is it doable by myself just making knots on loop-loop pigtails?

Any shop in UK will have them for that price (price shown is per one and you need 4 to maintain correct length of bridles on the kite).
Sure you can make yourself as well but why bother for this value. Cheers, Seb.

thanks. This set has loop & knots only on two pigtails, the other two only have knots as much as I can see on the photo.
Anyway, I emailed them if they can make a set with all 4 loops & knots. [EDIT: they just confirmed they have 4x loops&knots set too, all good]

You say that your local beach is "Camber Sands, UK" and TheKitesurfCentre is also in Camber. Did you not check with your nearest shop before posting here?

Pretty easy to do it yourself if you learn to splice rope. Tons of videos on YouTube about that. You need Amsteel marine rope that you can get in any Chandlery.

Yes, you can splice the loops and make it perfect.

But you dont need to....

If you, like me, are lazy (I can splice, but takes a lot of time), you can just find a piece of line/rope and tie a knot at the end, and thats it, takes a few seconds only

Buy some if you can, but otherwise, do the "lazy" but smart move, with a universal item.

Like this:




It can be used to make a knot to a loop, or a loop to a knot, like here, a knot to a loop:




And the other one, a loop to a knot:
