Re: Puerto rico kiting

My father lives on the island of Vieques off the east coast of PR and it is sick. The locals told me I was the first person they had ever seen kite there about a year ago. The whole south side is sick beaches with not a soul on them. If you go to the south east side by boat, the only way out because...

Re: New to kiteboarding

a 7 to 9 meter will be perfect. when you start you'll use it in lower winds. when you get better you start going out in windier days. i assume you've seen the crazy videos of guys jumping 50 feet or so in the air. those kites are most likely around 7 meters but used in high wind. big c-kites are hor...

Re: anti-g kiteboards

Re: Tips and Tricks to Repair Kites - add your experience!

the kitefix kit is great, but now that I've used it, the only thing I would buy again out of it is the glufix. You can get the dacron super cheap at any boat store. The fiberfix, or so they call it, is nothing but drywall tape, the kind you can get a 50 ft roll of for about 3 bucks at any hardware s...

Re: Why is North LE HUGE on the '08 Evo?

I only have a small amount of aerodynamic understanding, but what I have heard is that a larger diameter leading edge causes the air rushing over the top of the canopy to have to travel further than a smaller diameter, thus lowering the air pressure on the top allowing the normal air pressure below ...

Re: Plymouth MA wave session today

Hey Tim,
I had a blast with you guys the other day. I got Ben's # so I'll give a call next time it's blowing good. Today wasn't too bad, but I had to work. Take it easy Tim. I can't wait to get back out on the water with you guys. Happy kiting.

Re: Plymouth MA wave session today

I still see guys in duxbury harbor but haven't gone myslef. Plymouth beach aka the 3 mile peninsula south of duxbury bay is where I do most of my kiting and I've never had any problems except when the Piping Plovers are nesting, but even then you just have to launch before the crossover.

Which cold weather boot?

I blew the toes out of my O'neill superfreak boots yesterday on a huge jump. I am looking at the Ocean rodeo 5 mil coldfir boots. I'm just looking for any review of these boots or suggestions for other good boots. Thanks guys.
