Amazing, this is sooo impressive! I really hope this guy is relatively safe, I guess he is, this thing seems pretty stable.

Very nice, merci a lot!
It is presented very clearly and positively!

Nice thread! I 'm 44, very fit, no ACLs and two partially resected menisci due to basketball and football, but no knee instability during kiting :) Kitesurfing, biking, swimming and a bit of weight training if there is no wind at all. My Flysurfer Sp3 15 has done me a lot of good by letting me exerc...

GoJoe is good! For a cheaper and very durable option, buy a cheap small-ish plastic ball, like the ones sold at tourist shops, wrap it with some strong yellow or orange or red cloth (from an old t-shirt), secure the cloth with a cable tie at the point where you wrap all the loose cloth, then use a s...

Flight Time, we 'll do it, we 'll keep landing and launching with our kites in the air. We will also jump, kiteloop, backroll and front roll, we might even be overpowered from time to time. If the worst comes to the worst we will consider kitesurfing in big waves. We 'll do our best to rid your beac...

Yes indeed it can happen. It also depends on the kite. my old 09 edge loved to roll backward and the dart into the powerzone. That was a kite not suitable for teathered launch. Plus when it a super gusty location. the kite can catch a wing tip when drifting in the lulls roll back and slam through t...

That is fine on a wide sandy beach during a launch. But what if you are out kiting, the wind comes up strong and gusty, and some other guy gets tired and needs to put his kite down? He's on the beach, struggling to self land and he can't? You can't self land either because it's getting crazy. The o...

Yeah I have to disagree mostly with these methods especially the rationale for landing. For me if it does turn to crap and there is no room I'd rather go back out and pull the release and wind in whilst drifting back to shore than have a guy wrestle landing a kite whilst he's struggling with his ow...

When teathered landing I always walk/run to the kite with my hand applying pressure on the top front line pulling it foward just a tad. This stops the kite rolling back and powering up. The worst it can do is fall foward on the le Very good tip! :thumb: What an excellent and useful topic. Here is a...
