Re: Any more thoughts on the North Juice?

I really need the large kite by early December, if I wait I will have paid half the kites value in rental fees whilst I'm in Sharm!

No one seems to know when the 2015 Zephyr will be out, if before December then that may change everything.

Re: Any more thoughts on the North Juice?

Yes I guess your absolutely right! However, as a relative newbie I'll not be able to judge "very much" for myself if I test ride the Juice and am seeking the advice of you guys who can make comparisons without being blinded as your tied to a particular brand. I'm 53 and so will probably be using thi...

Re: Any more thoughts on the North Juice?

All North kites seem to be a premium price, If I didn't already have other North kites and a bar already Id probably get a Zephyr as I can get a 2013 for about £300 less than the 18m Juice, but then I lose that advantage by having to buy a new bar to go with the Z. And as I travel I don't really wan...

Many thanks, I'll keep my eyes open for it if I can wait that long. Might have to get something before mid December!

Re: Help with Kites & Board size

Youve probably exhausted my technical knowledge already.... Again as a relative newbie trying to help, I would not pay too much attention to the wind charts I think they are based on the most optimistic forecasts using good riders in good conditions and cover the extremes of the wind window. As an e...

Re: Help! Do North Xride 2012 fins need washers or spacers?

Whilst buying a handful of bolts is obviously going to be a lot "easier" you don't really want the bolts protruding much if you have to use more than one on each fin. I would suggest going to your nearest North stockist with the board and trying a proper X-Ride bolt, if this fits perfectly buy a set...

Re: Help with Kites & Board size

Hey Needle craft, I'm a novice too! I went for a Rebel 11m as my first kite one of the main reasons being I wanted the North 5th line safety, I've just bought a 7m Rebel second hand to complement it. Hopefully this will be a pretty good span. Incidentally I weigh around the same as you, maybe a coup...

Re: Help! Do North Xride 2012 fins need washers or spacers?

I have an X-Ride and have not experienced this at all. My fins have been off and on a fair bit as I travel with my kit and they fit wherever I put them, maybe you don't have the original bolts and they're a bit too long???
