Re: Can anyone compare kitefix x kiteaid ? pros and cons?

kiteAid repairs looks cleaner but I am not convinced they are as solid, as a matter of fact it seems like kiteAid does not stick to all materials. I tried to iron glue a patch on a Cab SB 2010 recently and the patch unglued after a few sessions These products are a good fix for emergency situation b...

Re: Stopper Ball Problems

Re: Bandit3 pivoting, even after pulling QR!

the front lines do get stuck on the triangle and it is anoying, however I am not sure that this is what causes looping. I have flown it a few time stuck in the triangle. After a jump the front lines tend to get stuck and you can still steer the kite but it pulls on one side. You have to jerk the bar...

Re: Bandit3 pivoting, even after pulling QR!

Hi Zen, this is exactly why I got rid of my BanditDos: it scared the shit out of me 2 times dragging me downwind in a kiteloop spiral. On the last time, I pulled the quick release and the kite did not stop kitelooping and the tension was so high that the kite leash broke. I do not know about B3 but ...

Re: booking scam..please read if you own a school

I received the same kind of e-mail when I was putting up a place for rent on craig's list

If you don't give the scammers back any money paid from their credit card, who's making money in this situation apart the bank with credit card fees ?

Re: Contact lenses and watersports

I find that in salt water my contacts have a higher tendency to be washed away then in fresh water. Seems like fresh water sticks the lens on my eyes as opposed to salt water which makes them more slippery... is it just me or some of you have notice the same thing ? anyone can explain that ? I wear ...

Re: Safest Brand

cabs feel safe, I have never leashed my SB 2010 however the fact that when you let go of the bar the kite depower is itself reassuring... I rode a Fone BanditDos for a good 4 months last year and endedup leashing it 3 times. On those 3 times it ended looping dragging me downwind on 2 occasion and on...
