Is there a metal V loop available for these? That is something I wouldn't go back from.
Yes there is

Re: Help: Ride Engine Direct Connection screws

I agree with Smeagle but after that send a message via the RE instagram account. They are normally quick to answer.

Re: Mystic Stealth x Ride Engine Unity

Yes, I'm associated with Ride Engine, but talking broadly, I totally agree with @lifeinthehood that sizing is key with all hardshell harnesses. Ride Engine has multiple harness sizes and bar sizes to address this and other manufacturers will be the same. As a Ride Engine fan I think the Unity system...

Re: RideEngine new Unity Spreader bar

Thanks @ThJoe ! I have missed that one :) It is a good addition, but works only to fit a RE Unity bar to standard harness. It don't see a way to use 2021 RE harness with e.g. Mystic's Stealth bar. Or any other 2x1 inch webbing bar on market. BTW - the pull-to-open strap on Unity bar is spot on addi...

Re: Slingshot UFO

No one noticed a new bar? Also interested. Or is it a modified regular bar? Speaking of it, is there a thread about how to remove weight like depower rope and side flotation stuff? I have a few unused bars that I could work with for dedicated lightweigh foiling. The bar Fred is using is his own mod...

Re: Corona Virus - Has your country banned kitesurfing?

In the UK we can go out to exercise but with no un-necessary travel so no travelling to beach be car. I think most kitesurfers who live near the beach aren't going out to prevent any un-necessary risk and therefore demand on our NHS.

Re: Time for new winter boots. Atan again?

Why do you need an ankle strap? Ive even cut it off on some boots. Maybe because I have a low instep but never felt that it does anything Are we talking bout the same merl? Not sure... The (high) ankle strap prevents water flushing in when you crash, and it prevent the boot from rolling "up" inside...

Re: Time for new winter boots. Atan again?

I've been a happy Atan user for a few years but this year I have moved to Solite 3mm. The heat moulding tech works very well and I haven't yet had to use the booster socks (riding in the UK) so I'll never need to go thicker than 3mm. https://soliteboots.eu/collections/cool-water-boots Do they have ...
