One really valuable option is replacing the original long hook by a shorter ring fixed in the center by a short dyneema loop.

Similar setup

For me its very easy. While riding toeside - from reach course to upwind you must rotate your hip to upwind direction. Kite pull on hook rotate you on exactly oposite direction - so in order to overcome this rotation you must rotate your hips harder. You are get used to overcome this and just push ...

I travel to Cape Town regularly. I've been kiting for about 8 years, so probably rate as a beginner/intermediate kiter. I've not done anything special as far as getting on the water is concerned. Obviously things to do are: * check the weather forecast * go where other kiters go * be respectful and ...

The dynamics of the system can vary a great deal. Worst case scenario is all the load being on one line, when hooked in and constrained.

These rules are internationally recognised and apply to any wind propelled vessel. Who's riding with right hand ahead has right of way. Who's riding a wave has r...

Beginners just get punished by the conditions, endanger themselves and others, and take up space of those that do know what they are doing. Everything else being equal, if you're an adult, make up your o...

One fun fact is that there is a noticeable difference in the vibrations you DON’T feel anymore. Its a more silent ride. Chatter of an epoxy board is outrageous. This is the exact opposite. The skin dampens. first off, I think that any innovation is good, and well done on finalising a product. Two t...

Hello guys and girls, Anyone has experience with a waterproof ipx8 speaker when kiting? I would love to add music but I hate earphones or earbuds, and now in winter with a tight neoprene hood it is impossible. I am thinking of getting a waterproof speaker and streaming the music from my Apple watch...
