dude, i've tried the punch out bar,its a step in the right direction but i wouldnt buy one as it wont work in all circumtances. rick,hopefully people will start listening to your words as time goes on.it would be useful if you could compile details of the safety release equipment being used by those...

i believe all the kitesurfing related deaths occuring at the moment are due to riders having to take their hands off the control bar to activate their "quick" release,this system just does not work as these riders simply cant pull it in time before impact. imagine having to take your hands off the s...

would be interesting to see if it works with the rhino2,certainly worth a look,if so it would solve a few of the on beach launching,landing battles in powered up conditions.....anyone?

hey dwight if your right about this draft stability deal,that will be a revelation as anything that makes kitesurfing fun in gusty,lumpy winds will be a big step forward. when you've enjoyed so much, the air you can acheive on the rhino2 its hard to get out of the "he who goes highest wins" mentalit...

the recipe we wanted was grunt with a bit of de-power,i dunno what we got but it looks like nouveau cuisine for the cognisciente instead of prime lean texas longhorn rump beef! remember what happened when naish launched the x10 "stratosphere" the "ultimate" big air kite? yeah it got its ass whipped ...

hey dwight,she must be a big strong girl huh! for sure the r04 will be good but feel they will be more suited to the lite bodied and the new style of multiple kite loop/handlepass flexi gymnast get your body twisted into some un-natuaral pose kinda pro riding that us normal stiff bodied mere mortals...

the wave tray rides looser,the dragon has more grip to help you hold that extra power that the r2 generates at its top end.the dragon has 8 fins for that purpose,some dont like that extra grip,but its not a prob to take out the leading ones and blank off the slot for a looser ride.the dragon has a r...

the dragons were designed to be paired with r2's. the board rail shape and fin layout is well suited to handle the power that the r2 generates,the fin designer bob from tarifa designed the fins specifically for the dragon board in conjunction with the riders and it definetly is a good combo. most pe...
