Re: GKA Freestyle, Kite-Surf and Hydrofoil-Freestyle Kite World Cup Cauipe 2023

Love Tom Bridge's style... so unique, laidback and interesting. Hard to know if he just makes some bits of the trick ending depending on the take off height and power, "just got time to throw another rotation... land to blind..handlepass" etc. Nice to see some unique variety.

Re: Securing Naish hose lock

I would put some clear plumbing silicone around the full outer area of the clear plastic, then push the tubing on and pull tight with a small cable tie.

Re: Setup for gusty choppy conditions?

Airush Razors and a Tona Pop
That's probably one of the worst combo's out there for choppy conditions, a freestyle "C" kite" and stiff freestyle board. I would start by changing the board out, try a Shinn Monk, they are superb in the chop and pretty good for unhooked pop (8/10 good).

Re: 35m+ Sonic4 jump

Who's the rider and where is the spot? looks like it was close to running out of water/nearing rocks. That's some impressive float :thumb:

Re: Kitesurfing in Valencia - Spain ?

I didn't take me kit in the end. Valencia is a fantastic city, but it didn't seem windy the week I was there. Not really a kite destination.

Re: Eleveight CS Auto Bar

Looks a really nice clean bar to me, but no option to change the outer settings! The centre line throw looks way to long for my liking (guessing 75cm from scaling the bar?), looks like smaller riders would struggle to reach the depower cleat.

Re: How hard do you pump your kite?

I’m always surprised by the amount of kites that are under inflated, you go to launch them and their kites wobbly, people struggling to relaunch because the kites floppy and sticking to the water and low kite loops where the kites flapping around the loop. 10 to 11PSI in all my kites, no issues with...

Re: How hard do you pump your kite?

If someone takes given advice literally and mindlessly, and inflates a 14m to 11psi, I'm pretty sure it's going to cause troubles.
Never caused me any issues, I pump my 14m Torch and Dash to 10-11PSI almost every session, works perfectly.
