Re: Paying for a spreader bar, WTF

New ones are pricey for sure. The good news is harnesses have never been better! Everyone will have their own take of course but for me the Mystic Stealth and Mystic Majestic are fantastic waist harnesses along with their matching winged spreader bars. Very comfortable and light and they seldom ride...

This is what happens in quite a short time to the front lines that sit in the power bracket/line organizer, I advise to mount one of a brand that doesn't eat up the front lines:
Evan, what do you recommend for a bracket/line organizer on a low V bar?

Re: Bar trim range

I have been playing with extending the trim range on my various kites in different winds. I have found that all of my kites, tubes, single skins and closed cell foils, benefit from a much larger trim range, than the standard. ... Bar trim or bar throw? Because, I think most of the taller riders wou...

Re: Looking for advice on straps

SP straps and pads https://www.spboarding.com/ are excellent especially if you have offset mounting inserts. They are the old school type you describe with the strap screwed down through the pad and into to insert, simple and light. The only disadvantage to SPs is if you have inline inserts, they wi...

Re: air tag for board bag Mexico?

Thanks for the replies so far. Agreed, it's nice to at least know where the bag is if something does go awry and doesn't show up with me.

air tag for board bag Mexico?

Does it make sense to stick an air tag type device in a big coffin-style board bag when traveling to Mexico? The flight is non-stop from Chicago to Cabo. I know it probably can't hurt but is it worth doing? Thanks for any tips or advice.

Re: Tips for getting PU tubing over bar leader lines

how are you pulling it? I usually sew a piece of kite line to the 3mm line, make sure you do lots of stitches you should be able to put 100kg or 200 pounds of force on the line to pull it through. You have .5mm to spare so this should be a very easy pull. You don't want any gaps in the tube it need...

Tips for getting PU tubing over bar leader lines

I'm looking for suggestions on best and easiest way to get PU tubing over 2.5mm Dyneema. I tried, albeit briefly, pulling the line through 3mm I.D. tubing but failed. Is 3mm I.D. big enough? Thanks!

Re: 2023 Duotone Gear

As long as we’re going by what one person has seen The beach I have ridden in baja has a lot of Ozone kiters who have been using the click-in setup since it was released and I have seen/heard no stories at all about problems with it. Not sure either of these stories mean much, not really a large en...
