I threw away my flexible hose once it failed. I use a clear 3/4" ID clear hose that I separate from the pump each use. It is stiff and a little aggrivating at times, but it works and won't fail.

I'm coming up on 3 yrs foiling and in the last month I am finally nailing my tacks on a race foil with inflatable kite. I wish I could have a conversation with myself 3 yrs ago, as it all seems so simple now. I'm scared to say I am more addicted to the potential of a foil sesh now then I was when I ...

I'm all confused with your terminology so let me state that you have 4 flying lines. You have the 'center lines' and you have the 'steering lines'. In my terminology the safety line is the line that extends past the metal bracket where your center lines meet. Many companies sell this line as a 'flag...

Season is here in FL and am going strapless for a small session each time I go out. I think I need a larger board as mine is a cabrina skillet at 5' 6" and I am 210 lbs. I can transition now so I want to move on to jumping. I cannot come close to jumping with the board without my feet completely lea...

Depending on your setup the MOST important thing are your LINES. Pay close attention to any connection points, swivel locations, or any other line to line connection points there are. If you begin to do rotation tricks the center lines can begin to wear a lot faster. I saw my own lines wear down aft...

One of my goals this season is to learn/improve my high wind jumps and soaring like you can see in some fantastic videos where kiters cover crazy distances in the air. I tried this last weekend moderately powered in 20knots on the 12m. Couple issues I had are as follows....I typically boost with the...

Was thinking of trying Switch next... may try a Renegade instead :thumb: After all, I'm semi-local. Dude, let me save you some time and money...don't buy a switch kite. I sent my Helium 16m(purchased Oct '18) back and it took 2 months to get my money back. And, I just spent 3 days slowly re-gluing ...

plummet, I do 3d printing and I am using TPU filament that is flexible to print these. Anything printed in TPU that is 3+mm thick is ridiculously strong. I use it for my chicken loop release. Been fine for 1 year in the south florida heat. It can withstand heat like ABS. I print these and press fit ...

I bought from Liros directly. 200m of the 301 and 300m of the 401 for centerlines as those wear out faster for me. 350$ USD included shipping. If you learn a brummel lock splice you are set for many years with that type of a shipment. I've got 7m extensions and 2 custom bars and plenty of line left....

Bought a 16m Helium last yr sent it back. Pulled hard left when foiling at speed and loved to Hindenburg. Bought a 12m Nitro in January. Had 3 valves leak already and they pulled off crazy easy. 3rd valve leaked last week so I'm gonna 5200 all the fuckking valves. https://ibb.co/WK0kvyH My kites are...
