Re: Really good advice: keep your hand on your QR at launch and landing

A video I discovered describing the same technique. I personally never learned it this way, but from my own (scary) experiences the technique convinced me right away.

Re: Best time & place in Netherlands

I would add Texel for wave riding as well. It can be a slightly windier there sometimes. And when the rest of the coast will have offshore conditions or low wind with east or south east winds, you can often still kite there. September can still feel like summer here, and has half decent wind usuall...

Best time & place in Netherlands

Hi guys
I've been noticing this summer there has been constant wind in the Netherlands. Maybe it's just El Nino, but I was think of planning a trip next year. Can you tell me what the best months are and some nice places for wave riding?
Thanks so much!

Re: Wind speed at Flag beach Fuerteventura in July

:evil: :evil: Advice: bring only what you use at the beach, do not leave kite or equipment in the car. In February I’ve got stolen from the car a new red pivot 9m, while I was out for one hour with the 12 at flag beach. Maybe it’s obvious for someone to do not leave anything in the car, but it was ...

Re: Rhodes (Kremasti) kite sizes

If everything goes well, I'll let you know by the end of September. The beach is pretty nice - I still remember it from last time. But we were going to Prasonisi, which was supposed to be MUCH better :(

Re: Rhodes (Kremasti) kite sizes

Between Kalavarda and Rhodos you are safe with 12 & 9. Prasonisi you need a 7.

Re: Replacement pads for kite-surfboards

Hi guys Thank you so much for the very helpful feedback. Yes, WMFG is what I was hoping to find. Now I just need to figure out how to get it to Switzerland. And if this doesn't work out, I'll use Da Yoda's or Peter's suggestions, last of which is kind of too obvious :roll: As for the video, it is th...

Replacement pads for kite-surfboards

Hi guys I'm now a proud owner of a new Firewire Evo. But, as you likely know, it comes without pads. My older board is a Whip with a nice soft pad. No problem, so me to some surf-shop looking for pads. But, they are much shorter. The Whip has a 37 cm long pad in the back and two in the front, the fr...
