Figure it would be the same as using a fixed loop on your existing 4 line kite.
Would try it only in underpowered conditions. Overpowered you might find you dont like it by the way you are being flown accross your local kite beach Mary Poppins style.

I've got a 1999-2000 naish 2 line kite and i'm trying to figure out how to make bags out of it. Any one have a sewing machine and pattern i can borrow.

I learnt on a naish r3 2 line i think it was 11.3m obviously no dpower and came with a chicken loop with no release.(i did change to quick release system) managed to learn without death or injury on the 2 line system but had it converted to four lines and found it to be a lot more relaxing and less extreme experience!
A few hardcore wakestyle guys stuck with it until probably around 2004 but havnt seen any in action ltely. to dangerous in my opinion

Mate you would be lucky to find a two line kite these days. I still have my two line ar3 naish two line kite with the skull and cross bones on it but thats from back in 2000 2001 and has been converted to a for line for saftey reasons but I still ride it on strong days with a pulley bar or normal 4 line bar if gusty I like it it has heaps of grunt.SO good luck mate I don't think you will find any around but you never know. Try some of the kite companies out east in Sydney or Melbourne.
