Re: does the industry have room for another kite company?!

If the number of products soled is lower then the profit from each product needs to be higher. therefore either the pr...

Amazing how much Trial and error there still is in developing kites and boards.
If the Aviation industry had so much trial and error it would have gone bankrupt.

Also if you have 1 bed / 2 bed/ 4 bed rooms it will be more versatile.
What is the advantage of a house over a pousada ?
Guess the only advantage will be the price...

Re: RRD K Free short review and video

Re: 2013 Blade Fat Lady

If they will manage to improve the FL again for 2014 ... :roll:
Blade is doing an amazing job with developing the kite range year after year. They have been around for quite a while now and that says a lot.

Re: Seaking helicopter incident leaves kite surfer injured

As a helicopter instructor pilot, I am amazed at these stories. The bottom line is that any helicopter is responsible for their rotorwash. Any aircraft coming close enough to a kiter, parachute, hang glider, (or anything else flying for that matter) to affect the flying of that device is simply wro...

Re: Online kiteboard shops

If you have a local shop and the difference in prices between the local shop and the online stores are not that big then i recommend you to support your local shop. You will need it sometime, and you need it to still be there.

The guy that bought my used 2009 Torch is also using the same lines.
