Re: How hard can it be? Wetsuit pee-zipper?

Pee is sterile. Besides, it flushes out quickly anyway. Pee is also a great first-aid for jellyfish stings. No one I know comes in for piss breaks anyway. You should just get over your pee phobia. I suppose that when i'm in the water riding, it would work, with a quick body drag to finish off. But,...

How hard can it be? Wetsuit pee-zipper?

Seriously! Why are there no wetsuits (at least that i have seen or heard of) with a small zipper in front! I refuse to pee in my wetsuit. It really should not be that hard of a design challenge to add it, and with some thinking it should be possible to make it fairly water proof. Come on, mystic, on...

Re: Airush on the right track with the One kite

Just a little warning regarding the airush one: We have used it in our school this summer, and hence it has been on the beach a lot, both in the air and parked LE down on the beach. As it has only one strut, the canopy is "flapping" a lot more when parked than kites with more struts, resulting in mo...

Re: loose fitting valve

Be careful dipping it in hot water, for some valves this is the way to detach it from the bladder as it makes the glue let go. I fixed the same problem with one of the tiny zip-ties provided in the repair bag from the kite (cable tie maybe?). Just zip it around the valve, tighten it a bit, and it sh...

Re: Pressure guage

I actually think the key point is not whether you should or shouldn't use a pressure gauge. The key point is to pay attention to the reality. If you have a super nice perfect pressure gauge that you trust, use it. But all that matters in the end is whether the kite is sufficiently pumped or not. Doe...

Re: Pressure guage

Excuse my ignorance. But other than the obvious why? I find a simple flick on the leading edge and if it pings I got pressure. The pressure is so dynamic anyway it's never the same. Lying on the beach pressure increase, dumping it in the water pressure decrease. A gauge might give you a good base t...

Re: Airush 2m Inflatable Trainer Kite

We tried them this winter in our snowkite-school, and i was not impressed. Overall bad flying, useless in light wind, not stable in the edge of the WW, and not a real bar for it. If you want a really good, useful and fun small tube, check the new ozone uno. Designed to work with a real bar, w depowe...

Re: How to boost Huge Air?

To many post to read trough, and to little time, so risk for repetition/repost, but: I have always had balance issues in my jumps, aways dangling and loosing balance. Then, one day last week, i decided to look at my kite while jumping, and it made a world of difference. By looking at the kite (of co...
