Nice video indeed. I got to do some more windsurfing this year. Last year there was no wind for it. Getting bored with kiting.

I think Airush has it right with the Vapor line. In 2008 they released Vapor and improved Vapor II. Maybe this is the way to do it. Fuel #..... how many were there?

Maybe REAL run out of cash with all that expansion in uncertain times?

Rebel is a hybrid with pivotal turning characteristic due to the fifth line. The major difference is the leading edge stays in place during kite loop on kites like Rebel, Vapor or NHP. When you do power loop on flat kites the middle distorts raises up grabs more wind makes a huge crazy powered radiu...

There is something about this sport that brings out the big egos to the point it becomes uncomfortable for everybody else. I can think of three guys at the spots I go to. Two of them got hurt badly kiting which settled them down a bit. So the chances are you are going to be driving the idiot to the ...

Rebel is a hybrid to me I do not see any flat area there but more importantly it loops almost like a C. And when I say loops I am thinking about aerial loops under load not at the peak. Like a back spin loop when the kite is under load. Bow kites load up like a barn in those kind of loops. And this ...

I am going to take some flack for saying it but the truth is the helmets are making water impacts even worse. I've been windsurfing since 92 and I am telling you kitesurfing is not a high wind sport. The accident reinforces what I already know. My smallest kite is 9m. April in Hatteras is a windsurf...

I can see you are understanding the system. The 1m difference is crucial because it sets the angle of attack. The back lines are adjusted to rider's preference. Start off by simply making the front and the back leaders equal at the bar. To check if the fifth line bridle is OK make sure you have that...

1m = 39" and 3/8

You can do one more check. Compare fronts to the fifth with the cleat in full power. Fifth line should be exactly 1m shorter. If it's more by the same amount you have double checked the fronts have stretched. No wonder the kite flies like shit.
