Re: No. 1 Mistake Kiters Make when Launching

@ grigorib

Have you ever had someone ( unknown kiter ) walk to you and offer to launch you ?

If you say I'm good thank you for offering... they get kind of upset and say : you know when someone offers to launch you ...you should accept and not turn it down

Your thoughts ?

Re: Wow, he got so lucky!

When I carry my kite in that much of a wind I don't only use the palm of one hand

I use my forearm locked in between canopy and LE plus I press the LE tight against my body using my arm

My kite is not going anywhere even if LE is slippery

Re: Florida kiteboarder critically injured when he crashes into St. Peter pier

I see him starting to try and change direction close to pier When the kite gets overhead a strong gust boosts him up He slams in pier with the side-on wind direction I do not believe it was a jump attempt The news showed Florida's West coast had unsettled stormy weather on Friday You can see the win...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Looks like we are looking for a BIG 20 or 21m that's stays flying in less wind but that don't require working it

If you're working it you don't have enough power IMO

A well designed BIG LEI is what we need
Not tiny 17m that needs to be worked

My 2 cents again

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

I would be interested on thoughts here.... The new Ozone Zephyr Ultra X 17m weighs 3.5kg. The Contra 17M is 4.3KG as is the new MotoXL also 4.3kg. The Zephyr has now a significant weigh reduction v older models. So my thoughts are this would possibly be like a 19-20M kite. Since I have a 17m & 19m ...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Stats so far this year 35 kiting days 12 sesh on 19m 8 sesh on 17m 10 sesh on 14m 4 sesh on 12m 1 sesh on 8m Those 12 sesh on 19m were great but on a 20m or 21m with more juice they would have been greater So 20 sesh so far on 17 + 19 kites That's over 50 % of total Big LEI kites are fun and awesome...
