Out at Kinghorn in the 5-10mph "gale" that was blowing yesterday, not enough wind to keep a 3mtr Buster flying so was just playing about static flying the 5.5mtr Brooza when after about 10min 4 lines in the bridle all popped.
It was not even as if the lines were under that much strain I was having to walk backwards a lot of the time just to keep the kite airborn but on the first gust when I had to lean back to balance I ended up on my ar*e as the lines went.

I had this problem about a year ago on the other side of the bridle but it was replaced by PKD (Prev Problem)

As money is short has anyone any ideas as what I need to replace/fix the bridle,
is it just a case of getting new lines & sleeving and make up to the same size?

Drop a quick email to Roger at PKD and he will be able to let you know about price. Explain to him that the other side has already been repaired by him, might be a fault in the bridles?

Hi Owain,
Was going to email/copy this to thread to Roger next.

The best bet is to give Roger a call, he doesnt read forums very much and its much easier to speak to him about an issue than ask him to read the site.

First port of call is Roger ( currently mending my 3.9 ). But bridles are quite easy to fix with old kite line. I have just fixed my 2.5 Century 4 lines popped in the bridle they are now green but it flies well.

Popped an email of to Roger today but its nice to know I can use some old line cut to length and it will still fly fine but I am thinking that it may be a case of renewing the lot as this has now happened twice.
