I use that type of system too (mini leash to secure in case the total release is activated accidentally) on crowded spots but don't find it very practical, because to separate from the kite two actions are needed which makes it more complicated. I fully agree with you as I prefer myself a single ac...

Leash at the Wichard Here are my latest thoughts about using a leash on the Wichard if you think there is a need to do that. Very important for me is that I do not have to do without the untwist function of the flying lines. The Pintxo Bar always comes with the Bar Connector. Exactly this part can b...

Is CF good in that? Sure it is. If laminate is made well. I totally agree with you. :thumb: That´s why we only use industrial produced Carbon tubes and NO bars made by hand. Our Carbon fibre reinforced plastic tubes (CRP) are manufactured using prepreg (resin impregnated fabric or rovings) winding ...

And when you have a look at the webcams in Spain between 12am and 8pm you see all beaches and streets completely empty. There is absolutely nobody. For what and for whom should this regulation of the times make sense? :lol2: Hopefully they stop this next Monday and we can go out all day long... Ciao...

Indeed the customer service of Insta takes all your patience. I have tried to purchase the one R via their website and have asked them to get an invoice with reported VAT to add this one to our bookkeeping. I was told that there will be no VAT on the invoice. So I have cancelled the order and asked ...

Hi Jason, I have received my one R only two days before the lock down in Spain has started, so I was only able to make some clips while walking until now. The quality is excellent and the assembling was no problem until now. The only problem I had was the sound, but after the last firmware update it...

Philosophically I can't get past the idea that a system with a single point of failure has a fundamental design flaw. OK I don't want to defend my design now but rather try to explain my idea behind it: First of all I have designed the Pintxo bar for my own needs. This is mostly hydrofoiling and su...

Ok thanks for the explaining about these last knots, then I think the bar itself is fully functional but the wichard isn't but when it does, it's lovely. I would like to ask you to get in touch with us via E-Mail and send us your latest address so we can ship a new Wichard to your place. I would li...

Luckily I had a leash attached to the ring aswell I don`t know how you attach your safety leash to the metal ring and I also don´t know how your leash looks like, but as you know from our conversation here in February we do NOT recommend to use an extra safety leash, as your leash could be the reas...

As these kites already for year in the market but no real reviews still. Even no normal quality videos of this kite in the action. We have started on 1st of July 2019 with KAUPER-XT. Many kitesurfers know me as founder of the Spleene brand since 2002 and as inventor of the Door at the same year. I ...
