I have an old 2010 north evo that i pulled out of the bag the other week to have a bit of a geez at it as it's been sitting there a while and upon measuring the bridles i noticed some lines have stretched and the majority have shrunk when comparing with the tags indicating original length that are sewn onto the bridle lines.

What (if anything) can i do to restore these shrunken lines and IF they are a write off.. where can i get some replacements?

Last time i had it out it was flying like a piece of **** and had been progressively getting worse for the months beforehand - i'm guessing the odd bridle lengths would explain why...

My LAST option is obviously making some new ones if you cant get replacements or repair them.. Would be nice to have my backup kite fully functional just incase the unthinkable happens..

bridles should be replaced and you will get some of your kites performance back for sure, buy new ones or get some made up or try yourself, but use good quality line

Take a sample to a boating store. They have a lot of awesome options.
