Good idea to grease the pump a little bit. But make sure it's compatible with the bladder material.

Good for you Bille. Congrats!

I don't know other bars but on my contact bar it requires some force but like anybody should be able to handle. For certain a fit guy. I pull it free from the clam cleat, trim it and then back in.

Sounds strange to me. Should not need that much force. Without a kite attached to it. Can you trim it then without force?

I usually have a shorter walk but manage by putting most stuff in a large shopper bag.
1 kite with bar and pump on my back, neoprene and harnass in the shopper bag on the ground, board on top of that, second kite on top of that and lift everything.

That's very beautiful.

Good posting. Never hurts to explain it again.

I have a 6/4 psycho tech and to be honest I hardly use it as it's too warm. My 5/4 does the job for 90% of my winter kiting in the UK.

But if you want really warm can recommend it for sure.

Try SRFACE.com. I sent a MT back 2 months ago and am happily using a ST now.

a piece of stickyback dacron cloth

Summing up all the advice that I got this is what I ordered in the end.
I'm now waiting for the postman.

So I went to my local shop but new stitching would be more then they indicated, 65 euro. And they found another worn spot on my LE Dacron and advised to stitch a reinforcement on that also for another 65 euro. I decide that 130 euro is to much for an old kite that probably needs another repair next ...
