Re: Who is wrong?

Can you look to the right and left at the same time crossing a street? No. Looking upwind is fine. I’m not sure if anyone is arguing against it? The question is can’t you know what is happening upwind 100% of the time all the time? You look right. No one there. You look left. No one there. You start...

Re: Who is wrong?

I would see that as the "blind spot" driving a truck. One can have control most of the time, but I do not see how one can have full control of everything that happens upwind all of the time. And even if an extremely experienced kiter as yourself would be able to (in theory) - most wouldn't. At a spo...

Re: Who is wrong?

Just not possible to know what everyone are doing all the time. Especially not upwind. In this case maybe the guy jumping has been reckless several times before and you “should” have watched him more carefully. Or maybe he has been very careful before and you have crossed him off the list of riders ...

Re: Who is wrong?

Obviously the guy that jumped - even if the other rider might have been a bit lazy turning as well. 1) You are supposed to check at all times if riders upwind and behind you are jumping? 2) Even if 1) would be true - where is the downwind rider supposed to go? On to the beach? I always check before ...

Re: Mystic Stealth and Majestic X

Interesting. Got no issues with the X riding without a wetsuit by the way (again - anecdotally of course).

Re: Mystic Stealth and Majestic X

Bought the X not that long before the Stealth was launched. Felt some regret right away as I think the Stealth looks amazing (still haven’t tried it), but don’t think about it anymore. The X for me is an amazing harness so even if the Stealth might be even better for me the upgrade would be tiny. An...

Re: Red Bull King of the Air (KOTA) 2023 Mega Thread

To me it looks like they are saving tricks for the later rounds. But - not something I know much about.

Re: Red Bull King of the Air (KOTA) 2023 Mega Thread

I'm not an expert on KOTA so just wondering how much are they holding back?

With borderline wind as well it is all a bit zzzz for me.

Re: Red Bull King of the Air (KOTA) 2023 Mega Thread

Interesting that the normal forecast is "crap" - while the "superforecast" is quite good. Assuming this is due to the local effect in CT?

Not sure if this is enough for the competition to be great, but lets see.
