I just had an email from Safety Tool to say; Due to brexit: "Unfortunately, we can only offer the SafetyTool insurance to policyholders with their main place of residence inside the EU". I've had this for a few years, never claimed though, but have heard good things about them over the years; https:...

116Kg 50+ bad knee - I've sought the same answer for a number of years. My main board is a C/F Elite 140X42 - Love it! 9m to 13m Had a couple of higher rocker boards for when my knee is bad. I find these to be power-hungry and not engaging enough. I started to ration my time on the water and just s...

It certainly makes sense to have some bigger kit if that's your typical wind. It'll give you more sessions on the water, which will speed up your learning. I found a bigger board really speeded up my learning with easier water starts and turns. Worth considering deepwater relaunch (and shallow water...

Being heavy it can be hard to get advice as IMHO you need to get it from someone about your own weight. I've had way too much kit over the years and have settled on the s...

Years back In windsurfing it was often caused by the back of the fin being too sharp.
Taking some sandpaper to it did the trick.

One day you may need that kite to be reliable to save you, if in trouble - It's hard enough without using old kit. You'll pi$$ more money on it, trying to fix it, than it's worth. My guess it's like a piece of old lettuce now. If you don't want to stump up for a new kite then try shops like these fo...

136/42 @ 116Kg, it was a fraction small.

Was described a Monk on steroids at one time, not sure as never ridden a Monk, but I really liked my Bronq.
