What is the best lifter ever if I need huge power and stability ?

[DeafThunder]

this bold line ... (bolded)

**500 lb. test only for light wind

that is quite strong single line for 6 mph wind ... that's all.

[GammoRay]

It really does lift once you get it up! And hard to walk down in winds over 20 mph. Go big on the line!

like this guy here ?

can this winch pull this kite down easier ?

I hope my technique is better than your friends in the video, but, yes, it feels like that sometimes!

I don't know what you mean by "bold" line, but I had the Killip on a white 1/4" 1,100-lb line, with the fish kites/laundry run up it on a black 500-lb line. (I wish I had put the Killip on an 1,800-lb line because the winds rose from a little under 15 knots to more than 22, gusting to 24! The larger rope would have been much easier to handle when walking the kite down sideways on the narrow beach.)

For scale, the pink shark kite is 20' long, and the black fish (24' long kite) is only half way up the white line. Technically, the Killip is not lifting here, but providing a rock-steady taut line to keep my fish corralled on a crowded beach of flyers. The fish kites and laundry were difficult enough to pull down in the high winds without fighting the Killip at the same time.

I hope your Killip Foil 90 is still performing well for you. They are indeed a great lifter.
