i don't know about snow kiting, but for water kiting, few even want any single skin bigger than 8m. i know i don't.

asking foiling to be relaxing is like asking sleep to be invigorating.

"We have had an all time record of nearly ...."

just pointing out a pet peeve of mine. weather records have been kept for only a few hundred years, the planet is approx. 4.5 billion years old. when anyone says something is an all time record, they're either lying or ignorant.

92kgs and less than 15 knots says: go kite foiling. many of my friends are a lot lighter than me and they're having fun in such conditions, but after a year of winging, i know if it's under 15 knots, winging just isn't worth it.

both my peak 4's (6m and 8m) have developed tears in the trailing edge that look like very thin rectangles about 1 inch long. they're both probably about 4-5 years old, so in no way am i complaining about the longevity of these kites. i foil a lot, and these kites get most of the use. have others se...

some keep saying 'use the wing' to help you get back. if there is no wind anymore, the wing is only a burden, not a help. The wind dies. Then it might come back again. If you deflate your wing, ... i wasn't suggesting deflating the wing. i would never do that out there. i was just responding to tho...

i came across this when searching for highly buoyant materials: "Now, scientists have created a new type of aerogel that is inspired by the feet of the water strider. The material is reportedly so buoyant, that a boat made from one pound (454 grams) of it could carry about 1,000 pounds (454 kg) of c...

the rabbits were the best kites for wave/boost combo i've ever used. the smoke (9m) was fast for a 9m. i used mine till they all died from old age. the one thing they didn't excel at was going upwind. but i still have never found a kite that suited me more than the rabbit lineup, though as others ha...

Cons:
-Has one-pump which is bad for wings as the tubing can get knocked off causing a massive deflate and you can't fine tune the pressures.

just curious....are there any non-one pump wings out there?
