Quick Bar / Kite match question.

Make it quick. I looked for an answer but came up with nothing.

2012 LF CPR bar 50cm (with ext) + 2012 Blade Fat Lady ... should it work?

I am going to test it out but want to be sure there are no red flags I am missing.

Cheers,

Re: Need some advice after my first season.

Haha yep I was out of the water about 5 mins later, I just kept it low and walked back in. It seems the top end of the envy comes very quick and sudden. 12 - 24 knots all is well ... 26+ and it is like a different kite. I once got into some big gusts 32+ and that was not fun. Had to put the kite dow...

Re: Need some advice after my first season.

Yea I have looked around the web for ways to tweak the Envy for better low / high end. I have tried the different knots on the rear lines but other then that I haven't done much else. I am going to be getting some 4m-8m line extensions for lighter wind to get a better power stroke. I found the trim ...

Re: Need some advice after my first season.

Thanks everyone. I really just want to be on the water as much as I can. I work an office job full time, plus wife and kids. So I can't just drop everything when it is windy and go, I have to plan ahead, make arrangements, sweet talk the better half ... so forth. So the more tools I have to work wit...

Need some advice after my first season.

Had a great first season. Took a lesson in the Caribbean and bought some gear when I returned home to the great lakes and started improving on my basics. So now that I am looking to spring to get back on the water. I need some more gear, looking for recommendations and even stuff to stay away from. ...

Re: New Guy - Questions ... go figure.

Got another question. Line extensions ... I believe the 12m Envy has 23m lines ... I was told extensions can help with the lighter winds for the longer power stroke. I was looking around and some say to go over 30m (overall 32-35m) and some say around 27-28m is a good sweet spot. Will adding 5-7m of...

Re: Why are pump bases flat?

I wonder why they don't go this route?

If you could pump up a whole inflatable boat with one of these a kite should be no problem ... and these are more compact (flat).
