And what are the benefites.
I would be cautious about doing that without checking with a Naish retailer first. If they don't know off hand hopefully they can put an inquiry in with the distributor on your behalf. Fifth lines introduce a lot of stresses to kites and if they aren't designed to handle them damage may well result.

Fifth lines call allow substantial more depowering than you might experience on a regular C kite. They also assist with reverse kite launch off the water.
