Yes, strapless only, but the videos I've seen of the Nugget were of people riding strapless. As a lightwind directional kiteboard, strapless would be what I want anyway. My local crew all ride strapless, when it is a lightwind surfboard. This thing cost me a bit over a third of the Nugget price. An...
No brainer pop tricks are hysterically easy with the 28M http://a.pc.lostcherry.com/52/31/1325/2164949606.jpg Low end range is debatable http://www.autozubehoer-tuning.de/28m-7kmh-cruising.jpg If you try to send a boost, you will be lucky to get 3' off the water. If you rode the kite parked off a ki...
This is an interesting topic. I have also felt uneasy with the mini-5s or suicide-lite leashed depower options on many of the modern SLE stock bars. I ride C-kites more often then not, and use a 5th-line on those, however, with only one bar, I find the 5th-line behaves badly when out of tune to the ...
Awesome Billie, Almost nothing is possible if you set your mind to it. My best buddy from high school had two prosthetic legs, one above knee, and he played soccer with us.

Minor modifications. Yes, it's the flexifoil spinner.

Wants: Ambidextrous bar grip. I can hook up and rid...
Get some sturdy metal racks. I used a closet organizer which I got at a shopping club store for like $85. Used half for a kite rack, the other for another shoe shelf for wifey. I could hang my wetsuit off the top shelf which juts out. But instead I have an over head surfboard rack in my garage, to h...
I don't think its practical to just look at resale. You have to look at the difference between retail and resale. For example, a kite you buy fro $2000 and reselling for $1000 is worse off than a kite you buy for $1000 and sell for $500. Both are 50% of retail but you're losing a $1000/kite per yea...
