Re: Anyone regret buying an Evo D/Lab?

I finally got a chance to try one today in the 9m. It is good but it is not this insane game changer everyone makes it out to be. It is grunty so I would have been better on an 8 for the wind today. It is fast but not super fast. For you coming off of an XR5 it would be huge upgrade but it will be d...

Re: Warning, never do this!

I think he looks a lot closer than he really is. We have a spot that is a channel to a refinery so we do have to keep an eye out for them. They all so throw really huge wind shadows that can completely kill the wind or make it super punchy. Not to mention how dangerous the draft they pull can be. E...

Re: Core XR Pro Aluula

I tried the 9m but still an XR. It will loop and catch you but not my kind of kite. Too slow still for me as I prefer faster moving kites. Unless you really can afford them I do not think most people would benefit from the increased cost.

Re: North Reach or Orbit

The Reach is more versatile. I have 7,10,12 Reachs because our winds are lighter and less dense. I have 9m Orbit for windy days. I am 195 right now for my winter weight and the Orbit is underperforming for me in the mid 20s. I can make it work in the low 20s but it is not as fun. Either way you cant...

Re: Challenging the Wing Big Air Record by Kai Lenny

This is the type of wings I have been waiting for. I do not like the price but this might be an actual game changer for once.

Re: Kite pump ideas collection

On board compressors with air tank. Hand pump for traveling. Small electric compressors have not been good enough to warrant the price. Hell hand pumps now are too expensive.

Re: High volume strapable directional?

For light wind small surf why not get a regular surf board? Used fish probably would do well enough. You can find the volume you are looking for.

Re: kiting after a hernia operation

It would depend on the size of the hernia. I had one years ago but it was small. I was only out for four weeks. I would assume if it is a large one you might be out for longer.
