Re: First waist harness - what to look for when choosing between models?

Waist harnesses are only really effective if you have a decent waist, and the measurement round your chest under your armpits exceeds the measurement around the bit you attach the waist harness to, i.e. an atheletic figure. Otherwise you have to do them up so tight it restricts your breathing. You'r...

Re: Why isn't there a huge single skin?

In answer to the OP, did not Slingshot make a 21.5 in the Machine range back in the day? I definitely remember the 17.5 was the smallest and there was a 19.5 and I seem to recall a 21.5. Pre Bow era 2005 or thereabout. The problem is logic, why make an inflatable built to water relaunch but used in ...

Re: Helmets for kitesurfing and the bucketing and drag myth

I wouldn't go with a Gath for kite surfing, think you need something a bit sturdier. Re the bucketing thing, I used to WaterSki Race back in the mists of time, the races were 50 miles long and you are surounded by big powerful boats, so as well as the risks of high speed falls you've got boats and p...

Re: Nexus 3

Seems that Nexus is not a kite, but a program of the US Customs and Border Control, but you knew that already. No, I did not, thank you for the enlightenment, I hope US customs are not like the blundering fools we currently have enaged in customs bureacracy war between us and the French (EU proxy w...

Re: Nexus 3

I'm sorry, I don't get out as much as I'd like, that Ozone? I googled that, it's some kind of bleach company, you say they make kites, are they any good getting right round the Toilet U bend?

Re: Nexus 3

Any idea what changes they made? I was hoping for something lighter Well you got it, lighter and stronger apparently if the spec of this new cloth is to be believed. It's definitely lighter (I know this from weighing them to ship out) It's faster in the air and has more low end torque. But really y...

Re: Nexus 3

Thanks for that, Core have been a bit quieter than normal with this one, haven't even seen the usual new kite post from Toby, whatever, the advice remains the same, this one is worth a look our demo guy really rates it and yes you could say he would wouldn't he...

Re: Nexus 3

pics or didn't happened. Its lighter because new material? I guess. We haven't been allowed to fly them publicly even though we've had them since early march so it had to be secret squirrel and no stuff on the internet, there'll no doubt be plenty of marketing bollox in the coming weeks, as there a...

Nexus 3

Rarely do I get excited these days about something new, but this one, is worth checking out, if you do one thing this summer, try and get a go on this, you'll be pleasantly surprised. If you've been around the block, got the T shirt, and just want the one kite, maybe do some waves, maybe foil, have ...
