Re: Kitesurfing after hip surgery

I have had a Birmingham hip resurfacing on both hips, which is a better option for active lifestyles than a traditional hip replacement. Walking again within 10 days and happily kiting after 6 weeks. Definitely beneficial to quality of life. I don't ride twin-tips or run anymore. Now it's my knees g...

Re: The World's First Double Kiteloop

It's been on kiteforum many times.

I'd argue Reuben's is more impressive because he's using a C kite with more sideways yank.

Re: The World's First Double Kiteloop

He must mean in competition, double kite-loops have been around for over 10 years. There are at least two variants, double rotated the same way and the S or infinity loop. Marc Jacobs does both in this video:

Re: King of the Air 2021 - all info here (Marc Jacobs wins!)

I also thought the camera work was terrible in the first half of the final. Most of it was concentrated on Stig & Kevin and we didn't see any of Marc's early scoring moves. I know it's hard with such a large competition space but there should be at least one camera per rider with an editor in the bo...

Re: Kiting with arthritis and damaged meniscus?

I am 10 years ahead of you. My hips became arthritic first, fixed by surgery (hip resurfacing). Muscle imbalances from sitting down at work all day and too much twin-tipping were probably root causes. I switched to mostly foiling, and don't really feel the need to jump anymore because foiling is ful...

Re: climate change / unpredictable weather/wind

Ever begins in 1951. No, accurate temperature records begin in the 1880's. Warming is unprecedented in more than 2000 years. This is the warmest multi-century period in more than 100,000 years.

Re: climate change / unpredictable weather/wind

Evidence of what? Obviously going around in circles here, but 1) you need to prove that there is a causality between Co2-emissions and what we are now seeing There is a huge body of scientific evidence summarised in the IPCC AR5 Report Chapter 10 "Detection and Attribution of Climate Change: from G...

It has always amazed me that science has wound up in the end, to be more twisted than religion, by those with an agenda or mental illness.
No, the mental illness lies elsewhere.
