Sacrificial ones!

Esp if your riding on frozen lakes and fields.

Sidewall construction will stand up way better than cap. Goes for skis or snowboards alike.

I generally need a thicker suit for some degree of bodily protection! In whining to my wife about the not so severe injury I sustained foiling the other day, she points out the plethora of unaccounted for bruising all over my thighs and arse. Anyone else find high wind foiling leads to a lot of myst...

Yeah man, overdress.

Its fall, Im in a winter suit.

Getting cold sucks, you play it too safe.

You will be stoked with your new kite when you get to use it..... which is likely soon, because.... well, foiling!

same.

Horst is daman

25-30 knots Highest measured gust was 37 with pretty thick great lakes swell. 1.5m ish. Only got the 3m at the end of summer and it was just in time for a pretty windy fall. Used it the day after I got it! Have had enough time on it to start getting used to it, but it can be fast enough that I lose ...
