and today i drove 45 min south after work to scope out a spot that would work on foil. It was 20-25 knots and a 300 m walk out through shallow water in side on wind. No one was out. tricky self launch. So i packed it in and drove to another spot on south coast that would have worked but it was a tri...

Sitting here looking out on solid 20+ knots, 1,5 m wind swell, and sunshine, getting ready to go out on surfboard.... But would have preferred 12 knots and the foil....

Continued off topic.... I wait till the mid/latter part of the current ear for last years kite to come on sale. Prices are approximately 50% off.
Every year the companies bring out new kites claiming this is the best design yet.

Never seen OR do this.

All kites are too expensive. I refuse to pay full retail and only by kites on sale at least 30% off. Last 3 kites I bought at 50-50-40% off.
We need to start exercising our consumer power.

This is super sad. Really a tragedy.
But what a dumb move. Please people be safer.
And remember, just because you can kite doesn't mean you can swim.
