I am of the opinion that the companies that make the valves changed the formulation. I have seen this problem in several companies since 2008. Before 2008, it was extremely rare for most of the top brands to have any issues with the valves deteriorating. It was common for valves to delaminate, but ...

David is a talented young Dominican kiter with an interesting story. As a baby he was severely burned, and barely survived. He was put into a coma and had over 40 surgeries. Life hasn't been easy for him. But then he got the chance to learn to kitesurf. In the past 4 years he has grown enormously, e...

The issue at my end is with bitdefender anti-tracking.
Ads were always showing perfectly, no problem! Its tracking many people have protection against and the current red screen triggers on anti trackers.

Many use this material. F.e. my 2018 Cabrinha already used it, as 2020 and 2022. I think Core used similar, but not 100% sure.

Usually more wind! Almost no other kiters! Multiple downwinders (Paradise Island, Mangroves, 7 Island trip et...

Enough alternatives. Ventum is using the same materials as the biggest brand at half the price. You simply choose with your wallet if you like to pay just for good gear or for good gear + sponsorships + marketing + patents etc. Both is fine and for both there is a market imo.

Quite unclear what exactly you are having trouble with but the free version of surfplan is outdated and very very limited. If it is available in the free version: 1 - go to meny 'edit parameter' and select bridle 2 - at 'attachment' fill in for example 1; 2; 3; 4 (gives point on segment 1,2,3,4 etc....

Bit of forum product "seeding" going on here?

Lol!

Or just a fortunate coincidence?

In that case I would have seeded Ventum flowers and not Switch
