Re: Yes! You Can! Self Land A Core Kite

It's 12knts and a lovely clean sandy beach. Do self landing videos in gusty 25mph winds on shelly beaches, the technique above will not work in much over 16mph.

"edt" gives a good example here:

Re: Cauipe, we have a problem!

Re: Florida kiteboarder critically injured when he crashes into St. Peter pier

Looks like a messed up attempt to jump the pier, with clearly quite a few people on the pier in/close to the flight path. Even if he took off well his board could slip off and hit a pedestrian on the pier. He puts the public at risk here. Hope he recovers well, we have all done silly things from tim...

Chlorine is water is so low and generally evaporated off by the time it comes out a tap it would have zero effect of the ripstop, it's an old myth that.

Re: Naish Torque 55 ATB 2020 vs 2021

Just measured my ATB 55 - As per "Dirk's" measurements - settings allow for 50cm on outer setting and 45cm on inner. I have never had any issues with slow turning speed on the 50cm setting, I ride my 14m Dash on that and it's plenty fast. Naish don't do a bigger bar.
