@SitocawithSorento It depends on the wind. Usually I use 450 pound braided Dacron, typically about 200 to 300 feet of it. If the wind is fairly weak, I may switch to 200 pound braided Dacron to reduce drag.
The bottom face is a little more than 38 square feet, so if using the rule of thumb of 5 pounds per square foot, 200 pound line is fine for this kite. I like the thicker line simply because it is easier on the hands to work with, and for safety if the wind picks up.
