Re: How To Kitesurf With A Kid Safely

For me, it's safer to let the kid seat on the harness's hook and hold your forearms, that way you have more control that he/she won't fall.

Anyway, I was expecting a tutorial video

Re: C kite advice/replacing duotone Vegas

My latest Torch was 2008, and from that year on, I've just flown Vegas, but to be honest, I can't say I can see much difference between those kites. The 2011/2012 Vegas felt a little bit more hibrid, but it went back to it's origin in 2013 and from 2015 on it's pretty much the same design with mino...

Re: Duotone 2021

As long as I can read the kite size I am don’t really care about the font. I did like the 2018 graphics. The 2019 picture graphic looked bad. 2020 was ok I didn’t like the white leading edge on the grey. I really liked the blue and red from 2020. Interesting. I have exactly the same opinion! 2018 g...

Re: Ozone Chrono V4

Why would someone choose to ride a kite like these on a twintip, besides extreme light wind? That exceeds my comprehension. Can someone enlighten please?

To get the kite back above you you pull hard on the FRONT hand so the kite loops above you and comes back over you. Backward Heliloop: The kite is flying FORWA...

Re: North Rhino w/bar how old?

I you would have considered to fly it, main issue would have been the valves. Like mentioned above, the glue had a limited lifespan, and all of a sudden, all valves started to be ripped of. Not nice when ready to hit the water during a hot summer day... And even worst when you have already hit the ...

Re: North Rhino w/bar how old?

Thanks. Was thinking of pumping it up this winter and try it snowkiting. Or is it a sketchy flying kite This kite is wonderful... For a 2004 kite. It means a pure C high aspect kite with very limited depower. I wouldn't think of using it on snow. Any other kite might be better, even a modern C. One...
