Hi Dave(?) Where are you located? I’m a CIED technician from the Netherlands. (Meaning I see a lot of people with pacemakers) You can contact me via direct message in KF if you want. After 6 weeks post implantation you get a device / system check to see of all is ok (no dislocation of the lead(s), i...

I’m at Melkbosstrand after 2 weeks traveling in South Afrika (west till Addo park / Port Elizabeth)
Looks like tomorrow, Sunday and Monday we can hit the water with the help of MoloAfrica.. we’ll see
But what a beautiful nature and landscapes this country has.

nice reports!
feeling a bit silly..; coming to SA the next 3 weeks.. without gear..
Family trip and hopefully I can rent the last week at Moloafrica..

My H stabs are indeed sharp..
My fault, shouldn’t kick it
H42 it was, same with H38 and H45.. which couldn’t stand a sandy bottom and broke

In that case I dare to say it is more important to have a kite which flies nicely to the edge / overhead, be powerd up (foil wise, not TT wise) There a lots of nice vids around, don't take your speed front wing, take a 800cm2 (would be my choice of my setup; 600, 800 & 1200)) Now I can tack with my ...

Make the fronthandle bigger so you can ride "powerd" with one hand. (such a plus for me from a full boom)

Planing and inflatable board will give a handbrake feeling while riding.. no fun.
I even had a splitable Nobile foil / wave combo.. that wasn't the board for waveriding / kiting either.. but that's another thing.

FWIW.. I Fly and kite, kitefoil and wingfoil. Did soar (and owned a 15 Niviuk Zion) It is great fun to soar but when living far from our coastline it can be frustrating .. not optimal conditions.. so I sold all that stuff (altough winchtow and fly with the Zion is fun too) except my normal PG gear (...

Had my best wave experience there back in 2013.. One Eye & Manawa.. not too crowdy back then but after reading this topic I will not return there too ruin my sweet memories
