Biking across Cuba years ago I tried to take a picture of the entrance to Gitmo and was warned by a menacing looking Cuban soldier with a very large automatic rifle to be on my way without the photos. I have no idea how you'd even get in there unless you were a guest of the US military. Cuba's an am...

Just checked the wingtips of my Rally 12m- about 20+ days on it so far this year, not even a scuff mark-
Thanks for the heads up though, I'll keep an eye on it- haven't checked my bars yet- but no auto releases at all.

I have an 8 and a 10 Rally (and a 12 too)- Both buckled once each when i didn't have the kite pumped up hard enough. Once the dump valve wasn't closed enough, another time I must have been in a rush- I usually pump up to 9 PSI on the gauge, or an even better indicator, when I thump the leading edge ...

thanks for all the insight!

I think they even have surfboards, you'll need to check though. bring y...

Not sure if this what you're looking for- but the actual pads over the foot can be removed from the straps, then you can switch them to whatever side you want. It also makes it easier for traveling, as you can remove the bulky top. I actually switched the pads around as I find it more comfortable to...

I've been in the Tulum area a few times, but the best wind I found was the end of February early March last year. I hoped to kite a few days, ended up kiting 8 out of 9 days. Check out the Sian Ka'an bio reserve south of Tulum. Most likely you'll be kiting alone, but I found amazing kiting there- en...
