Just look for something with a bit a width and volume and you'll be fine learning. There are plenty of choices. +1 Look for boards around the 19"-20" width range and around 28-30 liters and you'll be all good. Don't get too hung up on length. Shape, rocker, and volume are more important factors for...
I'm not sure if this can be helpful to the cause, but it is evidence of people kiting within a US National Park. Granted these could have both been done illegally. :nono: Death Valley NP (scroll to bottom to "watersports") http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/new-life-in-death-valley/ Crater Lak...
Hello, I'm a new member, and not a very experienced kiter, so apologies if I'm asking a stupid question. I was wondering how one can minimize his quiver by using a single bar for more kites. What should you look at to make sure that the bar and kite are compatible? Obviously, the number of lines (4...
I think most direct comparison is the North CSC Nugget. I feel it's much closer to the 2017 North Pro CSC. The dimensions are very similar... especially the Pro 4'11 vs the Evo 4'10. I'm really curious how they both ride. Has anyone had a chance to try these two boards back to back yet? Too bad the...
What fins (thruster) would one recommend for the most stability so I can nail my gybes 100% (in choppy waters to small waves). Training on a loose skateboard, fins have almost nothing to deal with "nailing your gybes" +1 However here's something to consider about fin shape that will lend to more st...
I am going to replace my 2016 bar and I am going to purchase a basic chicken loop, qr with a quick reset, swivel to unwind lines, flag out line running through bar, depower above bar (lot of depower throw, clam cleat or strap), clean front line connection above depower, heavy test lines, oh shit ha...
May 6, 1970, Yuichiro Miura, 26,000 feet (7900m) down to 21,800 feet (6650m). It's only a downwind run but I am counting it. It has to be on water to count. That' why I typed it as kitesurfing in hopes to differentiate from snow/land boarding. Still amazing that someone did it (sort of) on snow at ...
I get that it's proof of concept, but its strange optics to have a boat in the shot. We may get there, but for now there is definitely a completely separate drone pilot required. He's the one in the boat! Reminds me of Flyboarding. They need to be attached to a PWC in order for them to work. Now wh...
