Re: Switch Kites: are they any good?

Bar is in my opinion the weakest link in the line - however, if you like simple then it might be up your alley. At the price though, I'm still loving it. I have to admit that I kinda embarrassed to ask this question, but ... I'm used to Best bars with the above the bar depower straps. From the pics...

Re: Achilles Tendon Support

i'm curious if those of you with ruptured tendons have had a history of taking antibiotics frequently or recently(within a few years?) to your injury. ---floxacin, or ---oxacin Nothing more than the occasional zithromax. The demographic for the injury is guys in their 30's to 50's. Basically when w...

Re: Achilles Tendon Support

I had been looking for something similar, having completely ruptured mine in December. However, I've been back since April and haven't had any issues. It is a little scary at first, especially when its so fresh in your head what you had to go through but a few tacks and you'll get over it. Thing tha...

Re: Stupid reasons you missed out on a kite session

My buckle for my mystic harness fell off as I was walking from my boat to a beach to setup and launch. I must have walked around in the water for about 1/2 hour looking for that thing with no success. Now I always check that its not on too loose.

Re: Post your Custom gear

Can you post the directions and parts on how to make that pump? How much quicker does it work and for how long before a tune up of the parts? Custom/DIY kitepump. 50% greater volume per stroke than the typical kitepump (shown for comparison) Practically no flow restriction - pumps those big kites in...

Anyone in this thread have any issues with your achilles or knees since you've been back on the water? I just ruptured mine on Tuesday and am trying to get an idea of the time frame. I'm curious to see if there are risks of injuring a knee when returning to the water after such a long time off one l...
