Re: Gear that has exceeded your expectations!

Plus one for the Nomad CC wave TT it took me 5 years to justify the expense to myself but 5 minutes to know it was worth it. I hardly ride TTs though, and since FOILING came out, now surfboard sessions are mainly foil tack practices (we don't have great waves). Peter Lynn Nova 10m foil kite has been...

Re: Camber fatality

I’m assuming this poor chap didn’t launch towards the sea? Nobody has mentioned that. We have a choice which way to launch. I see so many people launching towards beach huts, car parks, roads etc when everyone is or should be taught to launch towards the soft stuff. I am so sorry for his friends and...

Re: Moses Silente Jibing

Hi Andy, I am using the Slingshot foot hooks on my Silente, it’s easier than strapless and safer than straps but you do get ejected further from your board and faster! I’m on the original 425 wing but I’m going to try the 560 for a few weeks, I will report back, cheers Tim

Re: Pumps! Aaargh!!! Does anyone make a good one?

The reason so many of your pumps are failing @ the seal that surrounds the shaft is you are pumping too fast! the aluminum shaft absorbs and retains HEAT, enough to melt down those flimsy rubber seals , when buying your next pump look for one with a PLASTIC shaft the plastic shaft dissapates the he...

Pumps! Aaargh!!! Does anyone make a good one?

Ive just had to throw away ANOTHER pump. It failed on the rubber sealing washer that the shaft slides on (no innuendo intended). I cant see ANY way of replacing this washer as it seems to be captive in the cap. The handle and plunger are also both captive, so even if it was replaceable, you cant get...

There is already a 5-0 Sweet Potato in the kite line. Its being sold by North as the Nugget. Its super fun in small onshore waves.

Re: Cabrinha Switchblade 2012

Does the bridle have 4 pulleys like the 2011 or is the steering line bridle back ? (the 2010 has 6) . Ive had a pulley snap once, so less is more as far as Im concerned.

Go Pro Kite Hero Mount

Has anyone tried this on Cabrinha 2010 IDS bar and lines please? The IDS system means that the lcentre line go into the vee needed a fair way up from the bar, in theory this should be good allowing a wider shot. Also has anyone used a non Go Pro camera, it says it has a fitting to allow this. Thanks...

Cabrinha S Quad 2009 5-7

Hi, any reviews on this board please? The 2010 has single to double concave so I wondered what bottom shape the '09 has, also what the nose and tail width are (12" in). Id also be grateful if anyone knows the weight of the '09, the 2010 is quite light - but very expensive! Thanks for your time.
