Thanks legato! For anyone that doesn't know, this is shot at the Original Muscle Beach, in Santa Monica!

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

There's 2 kinds of lines in general. The 1-inch-wide lines and 2-inch-wide lines. The 2-inch ones are what you're perceiving as flat. The 1-inch lines are setup with just a carabiner and ring and called a "primitive setup." It's light-weight and easy to travel with because it takes up less space. The 2-inch lines are setup with a ratcher and heavier. 2-inch lines are also used for trick-lining cause they are very low-stretch and can be tightened a lot and bounce more. They both have similar learning curves at the start. It's mostly preference what you start with. 1" lines feel more relaxed and 2" lines are a little more jittery but lend itself for more bounce. If opting for a 1" line, make sure it's "low stretch" as that's easier for beginners to walk and also easier to tighten by hand. The YogaSlackers line is good for that. (The 2" lines are all similar in stretch and feel.) I have a blog post on how to setup the 1" lines here: antranik.org/how-to-setup-a-slackline/

Thank you! 😊 She is my wife right now!

A 1-inch Yogaslacker's e-Line. Looks like he's also using many Yogaslacker's teaching methods.

I'm not sure what you mean. It's all one line, so it should be the same tension throughout.

You mean the line isn’t straight? Look up how to set up a slack-line
