The right choice of flying line is essential if you want to get the maximum performance from your boat kite.
Flexifoil Flying Lines are made from hi-grade Dyneema® using the most modern construction techniques. This is combined with a sophisticated extreme pre-stretching process to give you the best performance and lowest stretch. In addition a highly UV-resistant coating helps to reduce friction and prolong life and aids to lower water absorption.
The optimised construction of Flexifoil Flying Lines ensures the best strength-to-weight ratio with minimum aerodynamic drag. Each Flexifoil line set is colour coded for safety and ease of use.
Key Features
» Colour coded line for easy left/right and brake line identification
» Extra long sewn sleeved end loops for easy line attachment
» Line length and strength printed on tabs. Pull tab to easily undo larks head knot.
Q-PowerLine represents over 5 years of research and development to engineer the ultimate line specifically for traction kiting applications. The unique cored construction utilizes continuous linear strands of very high tenacity Spectra 2000® fiber encased in an extremely tight braided Spectra 2000 sheath. The resulting line exhibits the ideal characteristics for traction kiting: almost zero stretch means minimal length adjustments and incredible kite “feel” when flying, no sleeving required makes it easy to produce your own custom sets, self-lubrication ensures minimal friction during line wraps, a round cross-section minimizes parasitic wind-drag increasing both the boat kites forward speed and response to pilot input, a tight external braid reduces dirt abrasion, and a higher modulus (stiffness) than traditional lines almost totals eliminates line tendency to tangle. Proprietary coating technology allows us to produce hi-visibility safety lines in fluorescent yellow and orange with even coatings that resist the tendency to fade and rub off.

Q-Line from PowerLine Sports is a high-quality, cost-effective alternative to Q-PowerLine. Q-Line is made from 100% Spectra fiber, utilizing standard hollow braid construction techniques. The braid angle is optimized for maximum strength and minimum stretch. Q-Line is available in bulk spools in standard white, Hi-Visibility Yellow and Hi-Visibility Orange. Q-Line utilizes the same dyeing technique as Q-PowerLine, ensuring a high safety factor with good visibility in the water and the air. As with all standard braid structures Q-Line is normally sleeved at the loop ends to provide additional strength. However Q-Line is under-rated by approximately 15% and many flyers find this additional strength sufficient not to require sleeving.
