Are you able to stay upwind?

I've been able to ride behind my Ski Nautique which does not have a large wake. It has a small sweet spot that is ride able but it is doable assuming there isnt a head wind and yes that makes a huge difference especially if you have a nice tail wind. I generally go about 12-13 and ride in a similar ...

Thanks for the info... Amazed that between a hurricane(missed OBX), earthquake(not horribly far away), and pandemic that were still going on this trip. I'm going to keep my eye on the forecast. More than likely I'll bring my gear, but the forecast right now is letting up on Friday/Saturday. I don't ...

I'm traveling to Corolla next week for a quick getaway with some friends and it looks like as of now there will be some wind. I'm the only kiter going so and didn't plan on bringing my gear unless the forecast looks good. I looked through spots and searched and there isn't a whole lot of information...

Little over a year ago I asked the guys at wetestkites where the split was on the 24m bar and they had it at 18m from the kite. I asked because I bought the adjustable y they are using on Duotones new bars and put it on my LF bar/lines. Works great and I have played around a little bit with the loca...

I've been flying on and off since June for work and the prices have been all over the place like the OP mentioned. Detroit to Denver as high as $950 and as low as $350... Typically they are $400 give or take $50. Delta has a cancellation policy, but I don't believe you get your money back you just g...

I would also look at a pair of spoggles. They are generally used in factory / plant work as safety glasses that are splash resistant as well so they help keep water from splashing in. They are inexpensive and you can get polarized ones as well. Another option are safety glasses that are polarized. T...

Hey Iriejohn, what do you mean with"center lines worn out" when sheeting in and out? Don't you mean the replaceble depower rope? This is the only thing having contact to the bar eye! I mean the metal insert (bar eye) with a hole in it in the centre of the bar. Do you have a picture of that? Pretty ...

Hate to break it to you but its not the kite. Well.... My 2016 rebels definitely jump higher than my bandits. And my Peter Lynn Hook jumps higher than my rebels. Yes, a kite does make a difference but if you read his description you would understand why I wrote that. Changing to a different kite th...

Hate to break it to you but its not the kite. Sounds like you need to learn to handle higher winds with your kites better. You're not a fly weight, but you are on the lighter side. If everyone else is on 12's and you're on a 9, that's your issue (without getting into technique). I'm about 75 kilos a...
