The kite will sometime have a bit of water in it. That is OK. If there is a far bit, as the kite picks up enough air to want to fly, the water may all run to one corner. Then, if you let the kite go it may just rotate around the water filled tip and end up nose down on the water. What to do is pull ...

Really, what is the worst that is going to happen...they kick you out to line up with the rest of the cattle?

It certainly seems to be voodoo...
There is little to no information as to what combinations of setup/size/stiffness do what when searching online, which I find surprising.

Foils have there time and place. Climbing a mountain in minutes instead of hours with a kite is an incredible feeling. Getting to the top and flagging out a foil with instant depower then packing it up and skiing down. Ive done over 40'000 feet of skiing in 16 runs in a day using a kite. One of the...

Hey ORSales,

One more question. Have you tried this bar in below freezing conditions? How does all that PU tubing behave?

No need...already flown a couple sizes. Nice kite.

It's important to note too that our system will allow you to do all of this with your eyes still looking ahead as the winder will always be in the same spot and...

It is intriguing. I like the principal of a rear line trim for sure, but my one concern with this system is speed. I find I adjust trim often. My concern is that it would take a lot of time to power (twisting the knob), and a lot of clicking to depower. riding...click, click, click.... A 2:1 strap c...

I'm ok with buying local. I guess I was suffering from sticker shock in that last post.

I was hoping that with the right fins I could do a decent job at dual purposing this board. Great Lakes waves, and light wind cruiser.

Now I just need to figure out what those fin setups will be...

Alright! I'm on the right track now... Thanks for the links and personal experiences with this board. I will say, while I am sure different fins make a difference, hundreds of $$$ for fin sets seems absurd. I have trouble accepting that hex core carbon whatever would really be all that different tha...
