Beaufort wind table
The Beaufort scale was long in use as a system for estimating wind speeds. It was introduced in 1805 by Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort (1774-1857) of the British navy to describe wind effects on a fully rigged man-of-war sailing vessel, and it was later extended to include descriptions of effects on land features as well.Bft Sourroundings Wind Knots km/h mph m/s 0 Smoke rises vertically and the see is mirror smooth calm 0 0 0 0 1 Smokes moves slightly with breeze and shows direction of wind light air 1-3 1-5 1-3 <2 2 You can feel wind on your face and hear the leaves start to rustle light breeze 4-6 6-11 4-7 2-3 3 Smoke will move horizontally and small branches start to sway.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR KITELINE
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR KITELINE
Different kiting disciplines require different types of lines, below you can see an overview on which lines are recommend for each discipline.kite discipline Top line strength Brake line strenght sport/trick flying 25 - 110Kg - powerkiting 170 - 210Kg 75 -110Kg kite buggying 170 - 300Kg 75 - 110Kg landboarding/snowkiting 300 - 375Kg 300 - 375Kg kiteboarding 300 - 500Kg 300 - 375Kg
Line StrenghtWhich line strength you should use depends on a number of factors. Ideally one would use multiple line-sets for the same kite for different wind speeds to get the best possible performance. You can imagine that a 2m 4-line foilkite flies great in 20 knots on 200kg steering lines, but fly that same kite with the same lines in 10 knots and you will notice that the lines sag, making steering less responsive.
Even pilot skill and riding style comes in to play when we look at buggy racers, smooth technical racers will use 200 to 250kg steering lines where heavier and/or more aggressive racers will use 300kg lines or even stronger.
Generally high winds and/or heavier pilots require stronger lines.Line lenght
Line lenght is very much preferential, the rule of thumb is: Shorter lines make steering more direct with the sacrifice of low end performance and long lines give the kite a better low end at the sacrifice of kite responsiveness.
Considerations
Dyneema® is without a doubt the best possible line to use for kiting, however there are a few things to look out for when using Dyneema® lines;
Knots - Dyneema® handles knots poorly, this is why the lines have sleeves at the ends where the knots are, the sleeves are there to protect the line itself.
As an example: put a knot in a 200kg line and you will cut its breaking strength in half and under tension the line will break right at the knot.
Melting - In comparison to other kite flying lines such as Nylon, Dacron or Aramid/Kevlar, Dyneema's melting point/temperature is lower so if you ever tangle your 4-line powerkite with a single line kids kite (which are generally flown on Nylon lines) chances are you'll lose.
