“Next to nothing” sounds within budget yet is a nebulous figure. Any clarity as to $ amount? Appreciate any info on any areas

This has me thinking. Understanding it all comes down to location, location, location. What can a single person live on $ wise in various kiting locations? Fantasizing living a simple kiting life

There may be a discussion on this somewhere but I haven't found it. What is the best tape/material to refurbish a control bar grip? Thanks!

I've been using a J-Bar for a couple years now. I'm upgrading harness and see there are many options for a sliding spreader bar. Any feedback/recommendations as to which bars are working best? Primarily directional and foil these days. Thanks!

Will test them soon. I appreciate the quick and easy resolution of the problem. Though the "issue" gives me...

Emailing Switchkites was not easy as the website link to email didn't function. Found an email address under the warranty tab. Will see what they respond with...

Interesting! I pumped up my 16m H3 for the second time today. It lost air quickly! I hadn't crashed it last session and raved here on another thread what a wonderful session it had been. I boat launch so didn't have the opportunity to problem solve. More to come.....
