yeah but if a valve is loose it doesn't let all the air out in seconds, takes at least 1 or 2 minutes. If it all comes out in 30 seconds it's usually a plug coming loose. I still think it's really weird and might be something nobody has thought of yet. I would try to reproduce it. It could also be ...

Its pretty easy. You have a valve that is not attached right. Probably needs to be reglued. Once you pump up the kite, and there is built up air pressure on the valve attachment and the dacron and kite stays inflated, and when you move it around, it gradually lose pressure, and the more pressure you...

is anyone doing a DIY or modular kit?

looks pretty simply/straightforward...

yes there is a pretty good sized community that are making it on their own.

On the Dash it should look like the backlines are pinching the kite a bit. Different from the pivot and slash, and much more like the torch.
I think Dirk is correct that the lines are adjusted wrong.

Haha funny man

2020 11m/8m are ordered. Should be here by mid July

Woah.Slashes? Or Boxer?

I thought Naish would do a Kevin Langeree, or KOA special edition Pivot. That would be cool. Make is black with the Naish skull.:cool2: :o I am salivating. The helix they did way back was the coolest kite ever. This one, maybe all black with a flaming skull in silver. Lol. Oh man I want that kite...

I heard a rumor that they are showing them to importers someday soon. Somebody posted a short vid on Instagram of the new wing so I think it is happening. I dunno what the differences are, but surely it can't be that much? This year the differences were significant but not revolutionary if that make...

Put the kite at 12 and pull the bar all the way in, the kite should lock in place and pull back slightly. That's how I test my kites...I also set my kites up on the last knot, I like my kites to fly a little forward and it puts the bar more in reach. I think the nature of wave riding just leads to ...
