All the lines going trough the pulleys shoud be spectra brided leader lines, with the perfect matching size to the pulleys.
The pulleys should be all high tensile plastic (no metal!), check the finish of the wheel, should be glass like.
Connection between the the leaders and lines must be spliced.

Points to inspect regulary:
Pulleys - free movement, no signs of wear (deformations, scratches on the wheels), no sand (if sand present, wash with water).
Splicing point for taers, fryed fibres.

Wash the bar/lines at least once a week with fresh water to remove the salt crystals which in time will cut the microfibres in the lines.

And this is not a comprehensive list!

Good luck and be safe



this is coming from the same man who takes a ****en gps out on the water... kite have fun, keep eye out every time you rig up and pack up for potential signs. go kite if it breaks swim in, never go further out than your prepared to swin in, simple. the way you describe it silviu is a chore, but each to their own. I know I couldnt be bothered washing my kite or rinsing lines ect.
