So what you want is for American kiters to buy kites made in the USA, German kiters buy German kites, French kiters buy French kites, Brazilian kiters buy Brazilian kites, etc.? How efficient is that for a group as small as we are? The Chinese make great kites. As it is, many of the kite companies a...

Next to the Airpark? You mean airport? Huh? Seriously? I'm heading to Durango tomorrow. Should I bring my gear? How do I get to this spot?

Thanks.

The new Cabrinha Sync backless bindings look like something that I would like, except that I like super cushy footpads like the Liquid Force pads.

They deserve anything bad that can happen due to their ruthless tactics in the name of competition. I think that's a bit severe. Not sure of all the details of the la...

there isn't any beach on their property or anybody elses...everything is bulkheaded. Does that pose a problem or can you set up from the water? Hi Clint. That does pose a problem - especially when you're learning. If that's a place where you have family, and you'll be visiting it frequently, then e...
