I do this all the time, including this morning. If it's under 20knots I usually just pull the front line to get it to fall leading edge down. When it's windy I use this technique: Make sure your flag-out line is on the bottom when at the edge of the wind window (next to the ground), then release you...

If you're on an actual blood thinner (warfarin, xarelto, apixaban, etc) you are likely going to be recommended NOT to kite. Post-CABG is however not an indication for long-term therapeutic anticoagulation so you are probably going to just be on aspirin and plavix or brilinta. Your CT surgeon will li...

I do a 1 minute stretch routine every single morning for the past decade. Interestingly, that "malasana" pose is how I end every time for what that's worth. I was having neck pain from doing so much wakestyle and regular wakeboarding getting whiplashes all during my teens and twenties. Now I have no...

2 feet is not much relative to an RV but that's about 20% of a normal car length so it's definitely ticket-worthy in a coveted parking zone. I would just keep the RV parked there, get a good session in, then leave and pay the ticket later. ------------------------------------------------------------...

I have a 9m Ultra V1, excellent for waves and foiling. I go out when the lulls are 8knots or greater, so it's very good lightwind. TT jumping is not very good. Can't comment on Cloud but it is nice to have a strut for relaunch and self launch/landing. I'm trying to hold out for an Ultra with Alulua ...

I have a 9m Ultra that I ride as my main kite all the time, 8 sessions since Sunday actually, it's literally the only kite I own (other than a bunch of old kites). It's an amazing kite for everything except jumping, although I was actually just jumping off 6-8foot waves last night and sending it hug...

I kite more than most people (3-4x week all year long) and I always wear my apple watch series 3. I also surf several days weekly, shallow freedive, and fish (and do whatever else I want) with it on. You do not have to worry about water coming in, it is fully waterproof and very impact resistant. If...

So now I've done well over 100 sessions with my Apple Watch (probably a lot more). Standard velcro strap or Carterjett aftermarket band is best. Sport band is horrible and you will lose your watch (maybe first session). I have never used a case and I kite with it regularly, I also surf with it and f...

6 knots is very very light wind and will be rough with a LEI. One of the major problems with ultra light wind is that it can be very unstable and drop to 3 knots temporarily etc. I am quite experienced and have an Airush Ultra single strut kite and a number of hydrofoils and my low end for a consist...

Having kited all over Florida and now living in Florida and kiting most days (including this morning) I would say that Cocoa/Melbourne area is probably the best overall for wave kiting. -Central Florida in general gets the best combination of waves and wind. Weather is always pleasant, good swell wi...
