I undtil now used 26m Lines on my soul 18m2.
I wunder if it Will be better handling on 20m Lines ?
I use it on tt op to about 20 knots.
Will i jump better higher or Easy?
Got 12 meter on WOO In a power session.
Well it be to hard to Down loop it.
It Well take op less spage when self land = easy’er where you have not so much landing space.( that Will be god in my case)

I've only flown mine on 24m lines with a North Bar. I find it slow to steer forward when jumping on twin tip having to start the redirect as I am still going up. Having read the thread on here about flagging out on Souls and in particular the input from Armin, I looked at Flysurfer's own bars and note that they offer 17m + 3m extensions on their Infinity bar, 60cm (L) is the one for 18m Soul. This would indicate that shorter is probably recommended.

The optimal line length with powered TT riding is nearer to 20 than to 26. 26m only in supermarginal winds.
A landing down loop is easy with these big kites, timing and bar input like fishpoling the bar is required. Have fun boosting
