Re: Joke vs Gambler

I bought a 134cm Wainman Joke after trying it. I'll give you an analogy. Imagine if I told you that a snowboard can make the conditions feel like fresh powder everyday. Every turn feel silky. Every jump feels like you are landing in pillow soft powder. You wouldn't believe a board could do that. Get...

Re: which freeride board for weak knees / antivibration?

"The Joke" by Wainman Hawaii isn't a joke; it's the best board for smoothness and soft landings.

Airush 2010 Variel Kite Review

I got my chance to try Airush's new "Varial" kite at Kanaha Beach Maui. The wind was inconsistent, moving around and shifting from 10 to 26 mph, perfect conditions for putting a kite to the test.

Vapor lll review

I had a chance to demo the 2009 Airush Vapor lll. Do you remember when you were learning to kite and were told to pump the kite up and down to go faster. We used to practice making figure eights on one side and then the other because this is how you generate power while flying a kite. Then bow kites...
