Re: Do we need horns on the bars?

It’s a logic of 25 years experience on the water to avoid injuries. It’s an advice I am giving. Take it or leave it. It’s your life and health. So you drive a car on a highway, 100kph, and always look back if some idiot will ram you in the back? what downwind guy is supposed to do? What if that is ...

Re: Gong unik

Its going to be interesting to see what they are launching. They had big range of different kites, but drifted to wave and foiling kites totaly, which performed great too.

Re: kiting after a hernia operation

I had open surgery (supposed to be safer choice, but would be happy with laparoscopy too) and waited 2 months. At the begining there is doubt all the time if something is tearing again or just a bit extra stretch, you will feel when you are ready.

Re: Inflatable kite wave board?

Gong has inflatable Surf Boards, at a very good price. I guess, they should work with a kite, too? Not sure, I don't do Wave Kiting. https://www.gong-galaxy.com/en/product/gong-surf-inflatable-shortboard-3 https://www.gong-galaxy.com/en/product/gong-surf-inflatable-compact-3 I remember the owner of...

Re: Olympics - Kiteboarding set for lift-off at Paris 2024

As exiting as golf on TV for who has never seen it. Who wants to try kitting after looking at some crouched figures holding parachute? The only action is commentator voice. This is more dead than windsurfing.

Re: Olympics - Kiteboarding set for lift-off at Paris 2024

There was a roided russian couple in curling, probably eveyone is on some stuff.

But foiling is not a discipline I would enjoy watching. And kitefoil freestyle looks too weird for me. I think kite olumpics will do worse for our sport by repeling people to try it.

Re: Twin tip stance width and performance

everybody is different. There is plenty theory for snowboards, how to choose width of stance. One is according to distance to you knee from ground. Another just squat like landing and find the most comfortable position, that does not stress you knees. Then find good angle for yourself for feet. Look...
