Flyboy, the few times I've had the foil snag my lines are exactly like you've described. In very light wind, my kite lines lose tension during a poor jibe and the kite drops to the water. Like you've said, the kite isn't powered, but it's still difficult to get the lines off the foil. Luckily, I was...

When you crash, first and foremost, get control of your board. I would say first & foremost, concentrate on flying the kite. If the kite is flying high then it is impossible for the lines to get wrapped around the board. However ... it happened to me a couple of weeks ago: it was quite unpleasant: ...

145 x 44 is a perfectly sized all-around board for someone 93 kg. Your 2008 board (128 cm) was far too small for you. If you had a bad experience in 2008, I suspect it was more attributable to that board than anything else. Like Herman, I like multiple board options. I guess investing in more equipm...

Peter, I like the look of your bar......but is there no flag-out line? It can be made much lighter and much stronger, without having a center hole. One of my bars is the same way (and using 0,6 / 0,83 mm lines for lower drag), as I hate the idea of ruining a perfect carbon rod by making a hole in th...

I agree with the prior opinions. It looks like it may have already been repaired with some epoxy or something similar??

Usually, when we ask these kinds of questions on the forum, we already know the answer.
