I use a 17" bar with my 10m rpm and my 9m core xr5 for free riding. When riding wakestyle I use a 14" bar on my 7/9/10/12 kites if its light and Im on my 17m turbine then I use a 17" bar.

So a 17" bar will work with a 9m rpm.

I converted a Phase 5 skim board to a foil board. It works just fine. You will have to sand down a giant patch to the foam. drill and place the inserts and fill in with epoxy plus a filler or use a poly urethane. After all that is done you then come back and re fiberglass the bottom where you sanded...

Oh I have not looked at the map in a long time. But East beach has been destroyed for kiting thanks to the city of Galveston. A bunch of poles have been put up and the beach itself is smaller. So if crowded you need to go to the west end of the island. Eljardin is better they have removed a lot of t...

How much do you weigh? Houston winds are the lightest on the Texas coast. Corpus and SPI get far stronger winds than we do. I'm 195 and fly mostly a 12m but that is with a twin. April you should not need a wetsuit maybe a heater top unless you really do not like the cold then a shorty should be good...

Yes they do. Foam more so than wood because the core will break down over time. All so the sun is a killer to all plastics, paints, and rubber.

Yes the weather is unpredictable it all ways has been. There are just too many factors that go into forecasting. Throw in the politics fo climate change and it gets worse. Toby you should just lock this thread now. It is only going to turn into a shouting match between a few people over CC. Honestly...

I think Foilmount need to let their distributors know that this adapter is available or at least for down under. I am keen to buy but it's a bit challenging. He just got them in a few weeks ago. I know since I'm the one who printed the prototypes for him. I don't know what his plans are for interna...

So will it work with uneven lines? Most people dont tune their bars and they have uneven lines from only jumping in one direction.

This is the system I use https://kitehouseinstruction.wordpress.com/2011/08/02/74/ hornblaters.com has all the components https://hornblasters.com/collections/air-compressors/constant-duty I recommend setting up two of them since at least 7 cfm will get the job done quickly with no wait time. They ...

Electric pump? Why take up space with compressed air? 12v compressor same as in my truck. Tank wont take up room because I'm going to mount it under the van. The 20gal tank I have would fit barely but that spot is where my water tank will go for the shower and most likely an outside sprayer for was...
