Hey guys... I know it's probably time to upgrade by now, but I love and have been using my original v1 Chrono 12m for 2 years now. However, the bridles are wearing out and shrinking a lot. I've replace a few lines already but I think it's time to upgrade. Anyone have a Chrono v2 at least around 12 o...

It's a rubbish over priced kite. Only for foilers and only for mowing the lawn. #yawn

What the heck!!!??? Grass fins? What are they?

Hey, so after checking prices of new valves and shipping and all the rest of it, I've decided to try and get rid of the Octopus on the faulty strut.

As said, +2cm to Z. And you may have a look:

Yeah that's the only video that shows how it's done. Thanks. Took me a while to realise he got those differences in measurements from the official line plan but less the lengths of A and Z, etc.

How much experience do you have with foil kites? 8 years actually :) But I am relatively new to high aspect foil kites like the Chrono. I came from the Peter Lynn Arc days and Flysurfer Speed 3 or older. I only got this kite in the last year and it's been a demon in power that I am not used to. Nev...
