Looking for some advise
Have got a 10m Rebel - all very good.
However I do like to use 20m lines in the surf and gives an extra 5-10knts of top end. Used a friends Rebel with North 20m lines - vgood.
I have a Slingy 06 5line bar with 20m lines - will this work ok on the rebel and not change the shape etc.
The North & Slingy 5 lines bars basically work the same way.

Anyone tried this ??

short lines = faster moving kite but with less grunt or pull so you can hold it down in higher winds.
I find shortlines good for throwing the kite around in the surf but no good if jumping. personal choice.
