Thanks for taking the time, that helps a lot. I've ordered a splicing kit from premium ropes that comes with a length of their line to practice a bit. I understand this is not easy, but I'm pretty patient and good at this kind of stuff so I'll get it right after enough practice. I tend to use very ...

Since I started kite foiling 5 years ago I wear through the lower part of my lines very rapidly, due to the massively increased frequency I spin/loop my kites, crazy good fun but kills my lower lines where the lines cross. good job i make line sets and repair/replace all kite bar lines for a job, i ...

If you have one foil but 2 boards, do you need 2 plates and 2 QR kits or 2 plates and 1 QR kit is enough ? I did wonder that myself, but now I am the owner of 2 boards and now 2 kraken base plates, one fixed to each board, I can confirm you only need one QR kit, as the pin is removable and swaps ov...

would I sail downwind of you in strong winds no! if I was you would I change that line? Yes! I service bars and lines nearly every day, and shock people when I demo just how easy it is to snap a kite line, take a 2mtr length of any normal kite line, tie one end to a solid point, wrap the other end a...

singe strut kites are great for kite foil-but, and its a big but for me, they are rubbish at boosting, and rubbish on a TwinTip, mainly for the same reason, but also due to less upwind angle, which for use on a Ttip is a bit of a downer (in both meanings) 3 strut kites that are high performance and ...

So you leave the alloy plate attached to the board. That plate has a heap of cavities under it holding salt water, which gradually leak in your car. And after getting home you have to pull it off to rinse it. Doesn’t sound any faster than the old system, just more maintenance. [/quote] right to fla...

failing any help from duotone then I would remove the bladder and take along to one of the many street style workshops i have seen in dahab and ask one will they hand sew it for you using strong thread, it looks an easy job to fix by hand with the right strong needles and thread, just keep the bladd...

I installed the long awaited quick release pin yesterday, which is hellish expensive for such a small bit of kit, although the presentation box it comes in is worthy of a rolex watch, it takes a little bit of setting up, best to do this at home as some bits are easily dropped as you assemble the par...

Trust. I have to believe that I can Trust------ The brand will deliver in all aspects, and that list is endless,quality, performance, availability of parts, back up, innovation,choice, dealer network, resale values and desirability, car boot wow! that great eye appeal feeling when you get to the bea...

yes that's right,however thats fine if it works long term, but its clearly not that durable, compare the way that's been done- cheaply with minimum skill input,using good quality line but at lower strength and shorter life values than some other bar brands, many of which who go over the top in this ...
