Thanks for the advice matix

It's kind of dissapointing though that I can't get genuine parts for a kite that is only one season old, especially with everyone harping on about supporting local business; where's the support
from local business??

Yes I know it's only a relatively small puchase, but isn't this the sort of service we're supposed to be protecting by buying local?
If it comes down to it; does anyone know where in Perth I can some suitable line and someone to show me how to do a decent job making my own?
