I've been there on honeymoon last year and kited 11 out of 14 days. 12 & 16 are all that you need. I was very close to Ixia, one of the better places to mite IMHO. ;-) Searh the forum for it and you'll definitely come across it. I think last topic where I replied with some good info and e-mail-addre...
Soon to be unlimited. Now : not really an idea. Must have expired by now... I'll be building my own soon... 2 guys in our club have built awesome looking boards and I'll be using their skill's first to repair my broken Radical TT and gain myself experience in laminating etc... Straight after the sea...
SS Fuel 15 will do the trick for ya. Get's me going @ 12knts (75kg) and can hold it untill 20-something. I then switch voer to the Fuell 11 since I don't really like kiting overpowered. Learning new moves overpowered is the wrong way to learn new moves, unless it has to do with hang-time... I used a...
Hi Pierre Hi Shamikaze, Were you kiting just close to the hotel or in another place ? Were you disturbed by planes landing at the airport ? I was kiting approx 3 km from the hotel direction Rhodes. It's approx in the middel of the Bay and wind is cross-on-shore from the left. There were no problems ...
I wear comfort bands. Standard rings cut my finger kiting. I've lost 2 rings kiting. I buy cheap rings. I can't be bothered taking it off every time I kite. I kite way too often. I must admit : I am jealous of you... It rarely blows if I am in the neighbourhood of the beach. And it blows 4 days out...
I always take my wedding & engagement ring off for any sport I do. I can loose it or I can hurt myself greatly because of it and I am looking for neither.... Decent kite-surf location : Rhodes, no doubt in my mind... I went to Rhodes for my honeymoon last year, stayed in the Miramare Hotel in Ixia W...
I've got the SS 19. I think it's a great kite so far, but indeed you do have tokeep your boardspeed in check. Although, I would say the opposite of Briel. The lighter riders (me : 75kg) are more likely to be pulled downwind if there technique isn't good & clean (heavy back-fot, very heavy indeed.......
Count me in Currently I don't wear my helmet when goiing out in very light winds (.12knts). I am the only kiter on our break that always wears the lid. I started to wear it again in november for protection of the cold (around 80 of you body heat is dissipated through your head), so I could stay out ...
