Interesting to note where my lines snapped. The long steering line snapped right on a knot that had been there long and I neglected, very close to the attaching point with the kite. Both the flagging line and the center line snapped at the point where the splicing ends and the rope regains its regul...

Ok. I had never snapped a line in several years of kiting until now. I guess mainly because I was selling and buying kites usually with bar included. Weird thing, I snapped three lines at the same time. I snapped one steering line, the center line and the flagging line. I unhooked, my kite stalled a...

...I typically ride all my gear until I snap a line...

What do you do then? You replace only the snapped line? Or two lines? Or all four?

Shouldn't be the other way around? Shouldn't Olympics be the maximum expression of an already existing and well developed discipline? And not the cause or motivation to develop a sport?

I guess you won't miss your foil if you like riding a twin tip. Wind on fall is mainly from cold fronts, so a suit is a mus...

Hey Mr. Topaz , This is another video Catching Alberto storm in FL from an epic rider. This time no van and no EPICKITES equipment showing. Enjoy it :kiss: :thumb: Thanks Dimitri! Don't get me wrong. I was disappointed with the video because I was expecting more action. Not disappointed at all with...

I was expecting a kiting video of an awesome rider in epic conditions, but most of the video was DM showing off his van full of gear and some weather news. Disappointing.

that valve in the picture isn't the old Cab's that you have to screw on? It works, but it has double screw. I like the Naish inflating valve. At least until 2015. I don't know if they changed it lately. Just push it in, then pump, then screw in the lid. It works every time. No twisting, no double s...

The All-New Moto kite leads us into a new era of performance kitesurfing that smashes all conventional thinking.

Too many years getting the same BS
