Re: Slingshot Turbine Bar Seized - Options?

Thank you for your help everyone! Based on this I think I will try to a) replace the drive shaft b) try to remove the cleat screw Nice to see a local here too! I moved to Exeter a couple years ago but still regularly kite the isle! I tried to get the rope out of the drive shaft that's shown in the f...

Slingshot Turbine Bar Seized - Options?

Hi, my beloved 2012 Turbine Bar cleat has fallen apart so I have no access to depower. The whole safety release is clogged with salt and other bits,the whole system is pretty knackered. The screw the other side of the cleat is also ruined as I had a go at removing it with no luck. I guess I never go...

Re: Bindings do not fit stock spacings

Ah okay, will this work on any board or just LF? maybe. Depends on the bindings. Measure your inserts. there's other retrofit kits out there if the LF ones aren't right. The standard (modern) spacing is 6 inches and usually old bindings were 6.5 inches but sometimes 7 inches or 8 inches. Right okay...

Bindings do not fit stock spacings

Hi guys, Perhaps not the right forum for this but I'm guessing you guys have alot of knowledge in this area. I picked up a wood core wakeboard in mint condition from 2009, hyperlite roam, that does not fit modern bindings as the inserts have the wrong spacing. I am going to get some new boots soon w...

Hyperlite Sizing

Hi guys,

Had 2011 system bindings in size 9 as this is my shoe size, but they were far too tight.

Looking to buy some 2014-15 new ones instead, has the sizing become more realistic nowadays?

Thanks

Hey guys, Been riding for almost 3 years and having really fun time with all sorts of boards on primarily my cabrinha switchblade 10m from 2011. I'd like to get into riding my boots more and with more loops etc. I've got the opportunity to get this kite at a good price, how does it compare with the ...

Re: LF Element vs Echo

I've been on the element and was it lent it by a gu who rides both.

Basically from what I've heard: Echo is more wakestyle orientated, (bigger pop more rocker, needs more power not so good in chop), but both nice board.

Re: Can I use a big bar on a small kite?

"I was kitesurfing in some small waves, and after a bail the kite ended up being tumbled into an unlaunchable position. I popped the safety release, swam to the kite while roughly wrapping up my lines and sailed in on it. After I got into the beach and checked my gear I have realised the bar has be...
