First from the new stuff is the Gibbon Surfline – designed for extreme slacklining. If your are bored with classic walking and little jumping, I would recommend it to you.
You can surf, bounce, do all crazy and incredible action moves – the only limit are your skills!
As I have written earlier, the biggest advantage of Gibbon slacklines is that they are so easy to set-up. You just anchor both pieces to the trees, join them with a ratchet and set the tension as you prefer – in few minutes you are ready for slacklining. For more info on setting the line up, take a look at this PDF manual.
When you are slacklining, tree protection is one of the most important things. You will probably damage the tree (which is vandalism), but it is also possible that you will damage your slackline!
The protection isn`t anything difficult – just use cardboard, carpet or similar material to protect the bark (see the picture). The carpet is more difficult to get but is not affected by rain or snow (as cardboard), so I would recommend it.
You can also buy a special tree protection from Gibbon – the "Treewear". There are two large pieces to cover the bark (take a look at the picture), also equiped with velcro so the fastening is much easier than with cardboard or carpet. You can get more information or buy the Treewear here
And remember – do not anchor the line to weak or damaged trees! Use trees with hard bark and 12 inches in diameter at least.
Do you have kids? If so, you should definitely try slacklining with them – hours of fun are guranteed! And if you are planning a birthday party for them, don`t hesitate – the slackline will play the main role for sure.
Funny tip I have heard is to use swimming pool and slackline together – when you fall, nothing happens, you just get wet 
Considering Gibbon gear, the Funline is without a doubt the best possibility for children – enhanced grip and decreased flexibility will help your kids make their first moves on the line much easier. Just ensure the slackline is properly set up
Also take a look at this short video about the Funline:

I have already told you about Gibbon Jibline in the previous part – it`s a line made for tricks and extreme performance. And to illustrate it, I have found a video on Youtube where you can see Jibline in action – enjoy!
