:o They have kiteboarding (and computers!) in Kenya?

What part of putting the straps on are you having problems with, so we can better advise you? Placement & position, actual attachment, etc?

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-...

Glad to see that Eric is pulling out of a tight one! He sounds like a tuffy! :thumb:

Note to self: Don't have surgery performed in 3rd world countries (aka anywhere outside of the U.S.). :o

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.

I don't think it is going to be much of an issue. You can get away with a very, very light line for the 5th line (Hardly any pull on it, 200lbs should do, no?), and there is only one of them. I don't think it would have a noticeable effect at all. However, on the kite you had mentioned, they were ru...

Great tip! I'm impressed! :o

So simple, but so effective! I bet in 3 years, people will wonder how us cavemen ever flew our beasties with only 4 lines.

Is there any way you can post some pics of the retrofitted attachment points? This might be the last hope for my Aero II.

I used to have the same problem, but they sell a simple upgrade to ensure that prevents your kite from nosing in. 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 ...
