When I ride alone (It isn't dangerous, if you use a foil*), helmetless, with a board leash, in the oicean, with a steak taped to my chest - I simply punch out and let the safety leash work its magic. This accomplishes 3 things - * It gives you a good idea of where the kite will land (Downwind, ~ 25-...
Where's Sid when you need him? I'm sending a few-by air-mail How about you Sid? If you don't want kite associations etc. you need to take collective individual action as suggested by chicagokiter. PKA Mine will be in the mail Monday. While The Kite Kummunity Krusader Klubs usually have other motive...
No offense to your book & DVD & line of clothing & postergirl & etc (I'm sure they are all just lovely) - But Money (not safety) Makes the Monkey Dance. not anonymous has the right idea. It is the same reason why Daytona Beach will NEVER get rid of Bike Week - No matter how many drunken bikers take ...

It's called a foil. :rollgrin: I bet no one saw that coming. :roll: All kidding aside, the key to keeping your blimp from nosing in on light days is to: * Keep some tension on the rear l...
Wowee! :o It looks like the same lonely feeling when I express my love for the Guerilla 18 (Best kite EVER :P ). The Prankster is indeed very stiff, but I really belive that this makes the board very fast (In addition to very little rocker (Ave the tips). By mashing down on my back foot, I've been a...
This is the board that I mainly ride! They are pretty noice. I use mine in light wind - The board is pretty fast, and keeps its inertia when you hit a lull. The stepped rails give it a bit more width. If the wind cranks up a bit, you can really edge the bejezus out of the P172. The time when I long ...
