Hybrid of both. Small <boom> in the middle. Riding that way I can never go back to standard handles. Helps tremendously in high winds AND low winds AND jibes/tack. Lets you also ride one handed. Less tiring. More reach. etc etc...
50% for previous year model is about right. Thats the quality your really getting on these incredibly inflated and idiotic new gear prices. I have before/after pictures taken pictures of brand new kites, and after a year of normal use (around 2 to 3 times a week) for manufactures. These are definite...

We do have our own factory, we do make our own bladders but we purchase the valves from a supplier, we do not have injection moulding machines in the factory. The valves are ultrasonically welded onto the bladder material and should n...

Went back to kitefoiling. Then I tried a 5.5 / 6m2 wing with a 2400cm2 foil, 5'2 90L board. Was actually super fun in arou...
Armstrong service is tops. Blew my A-wing bladder, pumping way too fast while still folded (kind of a no no for wings due to the bladder sizes...habit from kitesurfing) bladder inside was probably twisted and blew. Contacted Armstrong, sent a couple of pictures, response right away and new bladder a...
