Is it possible to boost higher on 18m lines or 27m lines or somewhere in between

Do line lenghts matter when boosting and looping ?

I found little difference between looping on 21m and 24m lines, you will jump higher on 24.

But I prefer 21.

You kiting this weekend Go Kid? Its been a while.

Was actually just to even up stretching/ shrinking of lines (i.e. change it by a knot or two when necessary to make back lines even). I was riding this bar on old Catapult C-kites mostly.

Bar looks pretty janky by my own standards today, but it did the job well, you still couldn't buy something like that back then.
