Trying to get back on the saddle this spring

Saddle? Nah, you're doing it wrong....

Went to Sri Lanka 2 years ago (May 2014). I didn't find it to be gusty. At this point I was learning s-bends, unhooked kiteloops, that kinda stuff. Wind blew 24/7. There was the odd day when guys needed 12 or 14m kites, but most of the time I was on my 7m. Didn't find the water to be dirty - at leas...

Not sexy, but lean

Hm, could be. I had to sleep sitting up in bed, because lying down or on my side would undo the Epley.....

I feel spewy thinking about it I couldn't walk, let alone kite.

I had BPPV. Only for a week, but it was so severe that I threw up every time I moved my head, even a fraction. Lost so much weight. Down to 47 kilos. Anyway the Epley manoeuvre seems like bollocks but it sorted me out...

Yes, it's a good workout. Real abs. I work hard at freestyle tricks.

Ok, to all the heaters out there, I am not a whining feminist. I have posted pics in this thread. Yes, its is called "most sexy kite picture", and I would bet that for most of us on this forum a sexy kite pic is a girl kiting, whether that is in a bikini or not. What isn't as sexy is a girl kneeling...

Not cool trading those pix for that one

I asked him to remove them. If you want to look at porn look at a porn site FFS. I am pretty liberal but I don't need to see that when looking at a kite forum, and neither do any kids looking on this site.

New to the forum. Registered to put my view on this topic. As I have a different view on this... My wife has been kiting with me since 2005. We moved to Dubai a few years back and she now refuses to kite here... The reason: Too many idiots, when they see a woman on the water tend to try their best ...

The swivel on my slingshot compstick bars work fine. I just rinse in fresh water after each session. No more maintenance than that has been necessary - but I don't kite at sandy beaches.
