Re: Ozone: 2 Upcoming product launches

I noticed that too; suddenly exclusively VMGs.

Any more info on this? Matty, your third sentence is borderline unreadable.

Re: Welded Canopy Panels

Back in the late eighties/ early nineties, there was at least one windsurfing company advertising "laminated sails." ... No sewing ... Apparently, at the time, it was fabulously expensive... But it would be interesting see something like that applied to kites. Expense seems to not be an issue. So t...

Re: Smallest kitefoil pocket board size

Re: High Wind Hydrofoil LEI Kites?

My smallest LEI is a 6m Alpha V1, does the job very nicely until well in the twenties.

Re: Smallest kitefoil pocket board size

I use front straps in the most forward position and my back foot is positioned on the most forward of the four green lines. So there is a lot of board b...

Re: Phantasm hardware failure ?

Re: Best time & place in Netherlands

Kiterpep has summarized it perfectly. The coastline is less restricted for kiting than the inland waters, which are all heavily regulated. Around the coastal towns there might be certain launch area's, but for instance between Hoek van Holland and Scheveningen you're allowed to launch almost everywh...
