Hey,
My bandmate has the same diagnosis since 9 months. His symptoms were worse. But now after 6 months of therapy and medics he s doing fine and he s able to play guitar and drums again. I bet the right medicine will fight the tremor and keep you kiting for years and years. Good luck !

HQ kites stopped producing watersport kites. But here s a few more names: RL Boards, Orao Kites (Decathlon own kite brand), Deluxe Boards, Trans.

SU-2 Boards
Clash

A drop of epoxy glue or shoe goo is also perfectly fine for pinholes (diameter 1 or 2 mm) I find this solution very intriguing. I've been messing around with Shoe Goo on other fabrics and it seems fine. Next I'll try it on a piece of ripstop if I can find a scrap piece. I think this merits further ...

Thats number 8 in the Woo Leaderboard (31.4) and number 1 im the surfr Leaderboard (30.5m). Thats great - congratulations! (Woo record is 34.8m by Maarten Haeger)

Sounds great. I love hard pulling kites. I ll put it on my list. Thank you

Now that s really interesting. I remember Damien Girardin pointing out in an interview that a pivot easily can take 10 psi and he would recommend that (I think I read it in a printed magazine, so no link here). Since I read that, I pump em really hard and feel fine with them.

I got the Pivot 14 / 2017. No pulling like hell over here. Pretty smooth. Not an upwind monster, but well okayish. Regarding the flapping: the pivot needs some real pressure: give him 10 psi and another try.

Ah, sounds reasonable. So how many people of the 500k dead bodies really died from a shark attack and got tested on Covid afterwards?

No photos. Sorry. Just the ones from the internet.
