Easy!
Stretch at same tension, mark, cut and splice...
Make sure that the loop and the buried tail is the same at all the lines.
Search on YouTube how to make the splice. I make the brummel splice to avoid the need of glue.
Making a loop with figure eight knot is also a decent option. Not as tidy as splicing, but definitely faster!
Don`t do this! unless you have q-powerlines. Don`t know why bragnouff gives you such an advice, as a longterm kiter he should know better.
Normal kite lines are unsafe with a knot or knotted figure eight loop. Breaking force is drastical reduced with a knot.

This shows the principal of a normal splice. The stiching on kitelines is a bit different , just 5cm stiching with a poly or nylon thread
You can use a steel wire, guitar string E or some other unflexable thin wire.Or from the fishing shop :https://www.ebay.de/p/2255615308?iid=30 ... gJ8GPD_BwE
Every hollow single braided 12 strain (& less) kiteline is spliceable
The reason I said it is because the strength isn't crazily reduced by a figure eight loop (but it is indeed well reduced with a simple knot on the line). And I've done it quite a bit over the years, and I'm still there to tell the tale.
If you were using super thin race lines, rated for the minimum load you can afford, sure, I'd abstain. But for quality standard lines in the 300kg realm, I don't think it is an issue. Never was for me.
Edit: Apparently figure eight would retain 75-80% of rope breaking strength

I was temped to use a figure 8 knot. I'm sure it would fine for a 6M kite that I only use for foiling. But thanks for all the input. I shortened them with a brummel splice. A bit of a pain but at least it looks good.
