I think selling a 2004 kite like that w/ the "this sells for $1,759 new" is very misleading (not to mention, they pretty much are trying to hide the fact lower in the post that the kite is even a 2004). They should definitely put a disclaimer up that this kite is ridiculously outdated, predating eve...

Flight Deck. I weigh 195 as well and love it. Works well in the moderate chop I kite in on the Chesapeake Bay. With my 15m kite it gets me upwind when others on smaller boards are struggling just to stay planed. Just rode it yesterday in those conditions. As someone else said, just keep more weight ...

This thread is proof once again that you should not jump on any brand's bandwagon and buy their gear right when it comes out. Let other riders be the guinea pigs for you and wait a few months after the new release...so the kinks get worked out and fixed on any new product coming to market. Some of t...

Does it have a hook knife slot?

Are you wearing your kites to some kind of formal event or something?

Yes, update please!!!!

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=5647429&page=1 Got this link to the interview of the kiter who went for a loop on national TV. There's one thing in here that Kevin mentions that struck a nerve. He mentions that he was SELF TAUGHT !!! DAMN, this goes back to my post about Beach Police. In that ar...

no need for it...this is history soon anyway. I hope. Sorry Toby, but as long as this d*mb@ss is still out there saying things like this to Inside Edition, it won't go away just yet: "And despite everything that happened, Kevin says he'll be right out there kite boarding again in the next tropical ...
