Great idea. I use gloves and actually did have to chop the kite at the end of the session (strut deflated and kite bow-tied). It took me a second to grab the little loop so adding an extension to that is a good idea. Ordered some poly tubing in a few different sizes and got the PKS lock tube and wil...

Awesome!! Thanks to everyone for the replies. Going to keep this gear going as long as I can so that when I do finally break down and get new gear, I'll really appreciate it.

My buddy and I went out snowkiting a few days ago and it was great...mostly. I'm using a bunch of gear I bought back in 2006 when I first got into kitesurfing and it's held up very well (with some minor bladder/valve repairs and bar end replacements). Anyway, I got my Best Waroo 9m all ready, went t...

I PM'd you.

Thanks!!

I've been kiting on and off about 5 years and can self-launch/land and get up on the board but am working on connecting turns so I always like t...

Yep, already ordered thanks!

That's the answer that I needed. Thanks!

I had the end of my 45 cm control bar snap during my last session. I can get a set of new bar ends for $25+shipping, but this is my back-up bar and I'm thinking I might be able to just screw the top of the end to the handle and epoxy the hell out of the whole thing and make it usable. Based on how i...
