It just seems so random! What kiters actually drive a porsche to the spot?

I cant comment on the SLS as I only have standard. But as a seasoned Dice rider I can say that the kite doesn't really come alive until its well powered up. Its a fantastic kite to be absolutely lit to the max on, but just doesn't really click in light wind. When rigging I consider my Dice to be a s...

When they get the production issues sorted I would guess they will build up some volume before they start charging a small monthly fee or something.

I get made fun of a lot, because I fold the tips together and then roll the kite up towards the center.

Just returned from a semi annual ki...

I introduce you to Core, renewing their line up every couple of year and also the most expensive brand. I wasn't actually aware established any kite brand did this yet, but then I only really look at new kites every 4-5 years when I'm ready to upgrade. Of course a companies savings on not doing a n...
