Someone once asked me which I'd rather have to do: Buy a new kite or buy stronger line? If the line isn't strong enough, it could snap and your kite could have an unfortunate accident. Err on the side of caution. The weight of the line will be a minor inconvenience to having to buy a new kite after yours is torn or broken. Generally, a lighter line is fine, but flying in the gusty middle of the continent winds can snap your line suddenly. Ask me how I know. -

Just remember that longer lines will give you a bit more time to react to kite actions. Personally think 80' or longer will serve a beginner well. As control improves you can go shorter and shorter. Indoor - a common length is 10'. -

The lines I use at the moment are the ones that came with my used exp , there 60 feet long and have a cotton like feel to them and about 1.5 mm thick so not shore what they are or the strength , I made some lines up from my old power kite lines and I have some 90 lb brake lines that are about 40 foot so I may try them first as there thin so will have very little drag

With an EXP, or any Rev 1.5 size really, #90 is all you need. 90 pound, 50Dan or there about. #50 for the single digit winds if you were feeling like splurging.
80 feet used to be the most common length but the shorter lengths are becoming very popular.
I really love 30 feet!
