Air suddenly going into an empty strut would not have sufficient volume to collapse the LE. Maybe I missed something, but a collapsing kite isn't what I had in mind, nor did I read anything alike by OP. When I started paying more and more attention to the details of kite inflation, I was astonished...

Like the 2015 Cabrinha FX bag?

Because they sucked. I much prefer the zipped versions of my other bags. The handling is just superior.

Depends on what "best" means for you. If it is most durable you will probably need to decide how thick you want your lines. If you want them to be light and still durable I would recommend Liros DC000-0201 and DC000-0301 respectively which are Dyneema SK99. I have written about them here: https://da...

I am not familiar with the blade, but does it have a one pump system? If so, maybe one of valves on the struts was closed. Not closed deliberately, but maybe just twisted or something. So your kite seemed properly filled, but once that strut valve got twisted by you turning the kite it opened up the...

Still going on about the QR? ;-) The first thing is to REPLACE the dangling part :) So it can't get stuck etc. How to replace is the choice to make ;) I'll put a vid at some stage. Show us how and you may have a point. So far.. not so much. :-) It might be true that the other solutions are more intu...

Do you have any evidence of polarized being significantly better than UV-protected sunglasses? Regarding the "you are in trouble anyways": yes, probably something has gone wrong when this becomes an issue. I just don't see why I should add bits and pieces of possibly sharp and pointy plastic to an a...

We should be wearing sunglasses throughout the day and especially while kiteboarding! Why aren't we? by IKO (...) Just like with helmets, wearing sunglasses while kiteboarding seems unfashionable and excuses like “I will lose them”, “They are annoying”, “They are expensive”, “Water droplets on the ...

When I do this, I move the board upwind, but instead of completing the rotation with my body in the same direction, I turn my body back in the opposite direction. So kind of a 180 back, and then a 180 forward (the board still rotates around the full 360), instead of a 360 of the body and board like...

I like how they make it seem so simple. :-) And then casually add, oh, you need good foot skills,... and excellent board turning. And yeah, steer the kite just right. My personal opinion: it needs quite some practice. The video is good advice, nevertheless. I just feel they could occasionally mentio...

Thanks for the info!!
