For paragliders standard practice is to do porosity tests. Those are standardized tests which measure how long it takes for a certain volume of air to pass through the canopy at a specified pressure. The less air the wing can hold, the less it performs. Going to kiting, same principle applies, just ...

I'm sensing a trend here. Do people really make they kite purchasing declensions, based on who's riding them? I have always wondered this. I've only been kiting 8 years, and I dont live in a spot where its very popular, so I'm not at all plugged into the "scene"... but I've always found the regiona...

I'm sensing a trend here. Do people really make they kite purchasing declensions, based on who's riding them? I take it you’re not an amateur golfer. 😜 They’re notorious for getting their gear based on their favorite pros. Who really needs the Callaway wedge that Phil Mickelson uses? No one, but pe...

Coming out of the water in Cape Town after spotting a fin (not a sun fish), I met a guy with one of those magnets on each of his ankles. We spoke about it, and that's when I got into the rabbit hole... To cut the story short, a university from Florida had a published study, concluding that there are...

It's a marine biologists that follows great whites at the cost of souther...

He isn’t going to get contracted with any kite brand in the near future. Please read the text in which he says he will stay independent for now. So he will possible ride multiple brands for now or just his Ozone equipment he already has. Probably says so, as he has no contract. Doubt he is "indepen...

wow, that's quiet some news!

Really curious to where he goes next?

What do you think of retirement he’s 31 yrs old time for some new guys like Lorenzo & Andrea…

31 is old, or what? Have you seen him ride or rip the gym?

Yeah, I also had a front line snap on my brand new Dreamstick X. Surprise surprise, it was a strait splice and that's exactly where the line snapped. Props to their support though, as they replaced the line without any hustle in record time. I was fortunate enough to know how to repair the line on t...

My snowboarding stance depends on what I plan to do during the day. If that it carving, freeriding or just bombing the slopes, I prefer to have a directional stance as that opens up my shoulders and allows me to have better edge control. If I plan to hit the jumps, do some butters, ride switch and h...
