Re: Paying for a spreader bar, WTF

Mystic stealth bar is as heavy as a freight train. At least this was my impression when I "upgraded" Dakine push button bar to Mystic.

Re: Naish Phoenix

Can you really distinguish one brand high AR 5 strut kite from another in a blind test? Let's list some kite models of this type: - Ozone Edge - Duotone Rebel - Cabrinha Velocity -> AV8 -> Nitro - Airush Lift - F1 Furtive - Slingshot Machine - Crazyfly Hyper So, why would you expect a miracle from N...

Re: Do all carbon mast do this?

I did the same test on my Levitaz R5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIofRVLrebg This was a very gentle nudge. The properly executed test would have you standing on the side, have one leg pressing the board against the ground, grab the tail of the planner with one hand, a tip of the front wing wit...

The original chatDPT question -- Write satirical poem "Drunken Keteboarding sailor". It has to have intrigue, lawsuit, and global warming. -- can be tuned to to any ridiculous requirements to make it more funny. The last one, I promise: Write poem titled "Dumb Dildo the Surfer".

Kiteboarding poem

There once was a drunken sailor, Who took to the sea on a kiteboard trailer, With a bottle of rum and a sense of pride, He took off, the wind his only guide. He weaved in and out of the waves, Lost in the thrill, a life so brave, But before long, his luck had run out, He crashed into an iceberg with...

Re: New 5 Strut Aluula: should Ocean Rodeo make a big air kite for boosting, old-school, airstyle?

Or (pun intended) make a 7 strut kite of the same weight as typical 5 strut. I still keep couple high AR 7 strut and compared to 5 struts the no-flapping feature is fantastic.

Re: Ski style goggles ?

The fogginess highly varies between the models. Perhaps, the best way to find a good one is to try bunch of $5 offerings from aliexpress. This one works for me: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832588188872.html The other concern is that goggles with scratched visor are as bad as the foggy one, an...

Re: L/D for tube kites?

I guess the next step is purchasing laser angle meter and posting concrete numbers for different kite models and wind conditions. I wonder if red laser dot would actually be visible in the daylight; green certainly would... P.S. Actually there is an app for that -- AngleCam . It even has crosshair f...
