Re: Ad blocker message

I started getting this message a couple of days ago as well. My Ad blocker has always been disabled for this site, I do see the ads. Both Chrome and Edge browsers are affected. It's not my router, because my phone works fine with this site on WiFi. I found a workaround on Chrome: I opened an "incog...

Re: Too big for a small board?

Hey guys, I started Kiting in October of 2023 and got so invested that I looked out for some boards (harness and Neo already there). On EBay I found a board for 45€ and thought that I should just buy it, I mean it’s damn cheap. The board is a Marc Jacobs Switch board and the size is: 136x41,5cm. No...

Re: Do we need horns on the bars?

but I wouldn't limit it to 25+ Or do you want to get a foil into your neck at 10 knots? If you are not alone, keep looking ! Basic rule! Just for your own health! True. It depends who you're riding with and where you're riding. The crew I ride with at the spots I often ride mean rando lifty gusts t...

Re: Do we need horns on the bars?

Guys, it's pretty simple. We've had this same conversation ad nauseam.

If it's above 25kn, your head better be pointed upwind. This is both for your safety and the other riders'. I don't know why this is a hard thing to do or a hard concept to grasp.

And what about a 2022 orbit? Much difference there too?
I'd take the '22 Orbit over the '23 Nitro, but I really hated the first Nitro :P

Re: Difference between ‘23 and ‘24 Orbit

And what about the 23/24 nitro? I heard it’s veery similar but im assuming that’s in comparison with the 23? I didn't like the '23 Nitro. It had problems with recovery and lift anywhere other than 12 oclock. The '24 Nitro is very good and very fun. Vs. the standard '24 Orbit it's a little quicker a...

Re: Ad blocker message

It doesn't look like something Toby would do. Hopefully your passwords aren't shared anywhere.

I could get it working doing this in Edge.

Re: Difference between ‘23 and ‘24 Orbit

As someone already said, the leading edge of the 23 is a lighter, stiffer Dacron. This gives it a quicker response and better feel on the bar. The 24 has a redesigned bridle that made it way more stable than previous versions, especially in ultra gusty wind. For me, it depended on the situation I wa...

Re: North Navigator Pro Bar 2024

I am wondering how is the resistance when moving the bar? I had Duotone trust bars and then went over to click bar. While click functionality is great, the center coated line gives lots of friction and it is hard to power or depor kite when performing a loop. You have to return bar to semi-horizont...

Re: How i broke 3 ribs in megaloop late backroll crash Cape Town

I did cartilage damage over three months ago mucking up a double back. I'm still in a diaper. Healing is so slow.

Impact vest was in the car. :D
