One more little thing: as you're setting up to jump, tell your front hand that you'll be using it to pull and redirect the kite forward for landing. This way, when your mind flip-flops halfway around, your hand will remember to pull to right way, instead of the dreaded wrong-side kite-destroyer tom...

Any reviews on Park 2014? Looks nice with no pully! How is it unhooked, what about the slack? +1. I'm in for a kite that allows me for a mix of wave, which i'm just starting, and freeride (boosting and hang-time being what i look for). North Dice is the other alternative. I know the two things are ...

Thanks Marka. Now does anybody else have anything to add? Anybody?............... +1 for the Explora team, been there and they are super nice and professional. Can't speak bad enough of the facilities, crew, prices of Dakhla. Beautiful spot, worst expierence-ever for all the rest. It's ok if you ar...

Hey guys, I'm an advanced rider and now want to buy my first own kite =P I search for a kite for freestyle, with quite a long Hangtime which is very flexible & fast. Can you help me finding a good one? :jump: If you're advanced and into freestyle, i'd assume you're gonna be in for one of the top Cs...

I like a lot the boat option as it allows a lot of flexibility, gives you more choice of spots, less crowd,...

Any recommendation on companies, etc?

Thanks,

Vanni

Hi all, i'm planning a kite trip to Essaouira around May, and looking for some advices. 1- I'm planning to spend some 10 days, i'm totally flexible on dates, wind-wise would you suggest moving as much as possible towards June? Looking at wind data, it looks like the wind picks up from Apr to July. 2...

Still a bad representation of a well controlled big jump.[/quote] fair point. how about...

Guys, Will post all details tomorrow, I'm just back from an EPIC downwind from prea down to jeri, arrived right in front of the jeri dune right at sunset throwing some airs, that surely did make my day. Unforgettable. Reading your replies, I'm honestly not able to say which exact line tangled, for s...
