Thanks all, it's all very useful! Raptor it is then. But you made me reconsider if I should rather go for the LTD, £90 difference. The only first world doubt left is the colour (the NEON is not on sale). I rarely separate from my board too far but I still had a couple of challenging body dragging se...

Looking for advice on my new twintip. I've shortlisted two boards on sale in my budget: Crazyfly Raptor 2021 140x42 North Atmos Hybrid 2021 141x42 - it's slightly more expensive Crazyfly Raptor Ltd full carbon also available at the same price as the Atmos Hybrid. But I don't think I need full carbon...

I'll be near Squamish and Whistler in late December then travelling to Panorama mountain beginning of January. I'm thinking to take my 12 and 9m. I've a 15 too but it might be too much to travel with 3 kites. What are my chance to find good wind for snow kiting? Any spots to recommend around Squamis...

I ended up adding a rope to my stealth harness with a hook spreader bar. (My rope spreader bar kit didn't arrive on time before my travel) 20201114_084237.jpg 20201114_084223.jpg I only used it for a couple short sessions yet so these are just my first impressions. First of all I initially made one ...

What keeps me bugging that the issue was not that the bar didn't reach all the way up to full depower position. Unfortunately I couldn't inspect it properly on the beach because the lines were so tangled. Isn't it possible that this kind of bridle line snap can cause the depower not working fully? I...

I was hoping exactly the same while it kept looping. It actually stopped a couple of times for a few seconds then it carried on. Actually I think when it stopped it was more because of the waves. The braid went up ca. 3-5 meters from the kite but it was still looping. I regret I didn't take a photo ...

Actually I just rewatched this great video:


I should have not eject in first place. It is very counter intuitive but that way I could have reached one of the steering lines to stop the looping.

I'm usually able to see retrospectively what could have I done better after my kiting troubles. But this incident I can't see too much. Maybe folks here can give some advice. Downwinder, fairly powered on a 9m. I was getting quite far from shore actually to signal my buddy that we should ride closer...

Mostly I'm fine but sometimes I have the same problem. I couldn't figure when exactly it happens but I have the suspicion it is when the harness moves more around my waist. Maybe when I don't tighten it enough and/or I do more toe side transition. I just bought a mystic stealth harness which feels m...

Thanks for all the tips. I ended up ordering the spreader bar with the hook and this kit: https://kiteboarding.com/proddetail.asp?prod=mystic_stealth_bar_slider_conversion The conversion kit wasn't too expensive (in kite gear terms :) ) and this way I can try both setups (rope with hook and rope wit...
