Airush Lithium One on longer lines?

Hey fellows! I've just bought a 2013 Lithium One (16m) for those light wind days (not so light, as I am a 95Kg guy).

I was wandering if it would do any good to use line extensions, as some other brands LW kites do.

Have anyone tried this? Thanks!!!

Re: POV Video - Deathlooping Kite Drags Rider Into A Rock Je

Well, it really seems he is an unexperienced kiter. From the time he tried to re-launch, he should've noticed there was something off. He automatically entered the "save the kite" mode and never realised what was wrong. That's why he tries to re-launch again, now in the land. Then, and just then, he...

Re: Please help me in choosing a new kite....

Maybe you should consider the CORE RIOT XR2. Has adjustable bar pressure and can be set to very light. It's not the CORE kite design for wave, but you can also tune it for that, according to manufacturer and some reviews I've read. This kite flies very smooth, but boosts a lot when sined. People use...

Re: crash and land on raceboard swords, errr i mean fins

That's why my mantra is: long jon all the way, even in hot weather.

Do you know what were the conditions for such an injury? I mean, people tend to do stuff with inappropriate gear... like big air with a raceboard.

Re: Kiteshop in Orlando

Hi André! I am also from Brasil and had recently been to Orlando. There are no shops there at all... at least, I couldn't find any after a long and boring search through the net. However, I've found a very nice shop in Cocoa Beach, which is like an hour or so by car from Orlando. If you look for Ron...

Re: Kite flutters in high winds. Advice

Had deformation problem always with underpumped kite. My Core XR2 is specially sensitive to that. Had to eject both times. At 11m, have to put 6,5 psi to be good. Core says its kites need something from 6 to 7 psi, and you should adjust by the size you have. Thus, a smaller kite will require more pr...

Re: Smith bay St Thomas

Hi TangTonic,
I am thinking about going to St. Croix in my honeymoon next year in late september (24th/25th). Is this a good overall period to go? Is it good for kiting? Which are the best beaches in St. Croix to kite?
Thanks a lot!

Re: A 9 year old learning to kite with Outer Banks Kiting.

That video was awesome! I have a three yrs boy and can't barely wait for him to be able to ride. He already said he wants a kite! :thumb: Now, regarding coercion, I've been successful in two attempts so far: my youngest brother (just turned 18) and my wife (but she was an easy one, as she always lov...

Re: What do you expect from a kitetrip abroad?

I am raising this topic because there is a wanderful spot with all needed infrastructure that is almost ever with vacancy. And I think I could reach 3 objective: 1) bring people to know one of the best spots in Brazil; 2) make the "spot owner" profit, so it remains and improves (good even for myself...
