TL;DR When I was a CEO my rule for presentations was that anything over one page double spaced was not acceptable. 'Nuff said. Forget pump kites under 14kn. They are too inefficient and won't relaunch etc. 8-10kn is a foil kite kingdom. Please ignore the lies of ram lovers. Ram air ("foil") kites ar...

Do impact vests in general provide any useful protection against water impacts? From what I gather most rib injuries are caused by the harness which the vest can not help with.

I would be very interested to see "th...

The wave belongs to whoever is on it first, subject to the overriding rule that collisions are to be avoided at all costs. The problem sometimes arises that some dick decides to turn onto your wave upwind of you forcing you to take evasive action. A quiet word on the beach usually stops it happening...
