Re: Traveling with a kite anchor (metal)

Just bring a contractor's quality garbage bag and rope with a carabiner on each end. When you get to the beach put garbage bag inside empty kite bag and fill with sand, attach carabiner, done.
You can skip the garbage bag if you don't care about your kite bag getting sandy inside.

The Longest Wave

I watched The Longest Wave the other night. Great documentary about the greatest waterman of all time. Watch it free on Red Bull streaming app.

Re: New Naish Kites, Twin Tips and Surfboards are Here

I'd love to know what changed on the 12 and 14m as the 14m Pivot is our go to size around here unfortunately. I have an S25 Pivot 14 LE and it isn't a bad kite at all. I've used the high wind setting and felt it really helped on the overpowered day I used it. (left the 11m at home) That said, I thi...

Re: Naish 2021

Naish claims ..."12m and 14m have been redesigned for dramatically improved overall performance" I hope this is true, I absolutely love my 8m and 10m S25s but was not a fan of the 12m. It did everything well but just had relentless grunt, even in light winds. I will definitely switch back if they fi...

Re: Please help to unscrew foil mast

Or you can go old school and grind a slot with a Dremel disk blade.

Usually, you will strip a screw when you use the wrong size tool or do not seat it properly.

Re: Cabrinha Fireball vs slider rope

I have a slider version too. Trying to figure out what I like better. Good thing on the Dakine bar I did not need to drill any holes. Simply looped around the ends. Works like a charm. 2021-07-14 11.04.07.jpg2021-07-07 13.51.38.jpg Lol....I think i saw that same setup yesterday... Maybe a BEK day t...

Re: Cabrinha Fireball vs slider rope

I don't think the Fireball or similar setup will ever give you the true effect of a sliding harness. Seems to me that even though it flips from side to side like a slider the tug point is still fixed in the middle. A true slider moves that tug point more towards your hips which feels more natural an...
