Rick, I love what you wrote. Very succinct and to the point. That may be a good candidate for sites to re-direct to before selling gear. Or just copy and paste.... with your permission of course. I'm sure very few shops have lawyers on retainer.

Pictures really do nothing to help. I'd like to know more than what a manufacturer claims, or a salesman pitches. It's nice to know that the kites 'ride great', but it still doesn't answer my question. I'm new to this I admit, the whole 'forum' thing... is this how it works though? A person asks a l...

The only point I was trying to make, is that there are many safety precautions in place in this sport. Comparitevely, there are 10 times the amount of precautions for cars, guns, motorcycles, etc.... and accidents happen every hour of every day with the latter.

I have been looking at Panoptx, as they seem to be a great brand. But is there such a thing as a truely waterproof lens? Meaning the water really does wick away? I have tried several scuba products, and rain-x, but nothing lasts a whole session on my current lenses. I'd like real world input if poss...

I'm sorry , I didn't read every post... so if I'm repeating, I apologize. But this sport, on any given site, has more than enough warnings. If they figured out how to rig, they must have skipped right over the disclaimers..... I see the point of these comments, but the same could be said for so so m...

A friend of mine not only pees...if u know what im saying... :oops: !! OOOh that's nasty. This is such a funny question, I had to reply here. Myself, I mainly do it when I'm cold. And it's difficult for me while kiting, I have to wait til I fall (what, people still fall??????) and then, if I'm re-l...

Hey Mario, I am planning a visit also, but I may have to take only one kite, are there rentals there?
