Infos

Kites have a wing and a kite line (line), or sometimes more than one line. Kite systems may have more than one kite and more than one kite line. Solar kites have a gravity mass-less line; but the most common type of kite line has mass; the kite line may be flexible or rigid as in a contemporary speed sailing kited hydrofoiled boat. Successful kiting in particular kite applications depends in large part on the kite line's specifications and handling. The integrity of kite lines is affected by wear, reeling, contact with chemicals, loss of strength from knottings, ultraviolet rays of the sun, repeated cycles of use, and damaging actions during use. There are historically classic specifications of kite lines. Kite lines for small toy kites differ greatly from kite lines used for kite tugs that pull commercial cargo ships across the ocean. Sport kites using kite lines two or three or four lines at a time have a need for very low stretch. Single-line recreation kite lines may do well with stretchy kite lines. Kite fighting kites' main tether lines have sharp glass particles bonded to the line.
