I reckon designers would love to work on this. This kite is an item that would showcase a designers skill, and also showcase new material advantages. Its a win win. What the designers need is the go-ahead from the brands. That will take certainty of profitability, which I think is there. Its their j...

go with the flow. 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 … No. We are just asking for one more size lei kite for those who do definitely want it. But that seems to make some people think we don’t know any better, or are nuts or wrong or weird or whatever. Its just one more kite size, in a world full of kite sizes and models for ...

i think lei kites that are 14/15m+ are really only for people who probably do this sport recreationally... / just want to ride and nothing else if you are taking an lei out in that size or bigger what in the world are you going other than going left and right and maybe jumping a singular inch all t...

We are not against foilkites or hydrofoils. May they live well and prosper! They just simply are not what this topic is about. Yes they provide useful comparisons and discussion points, but they are not the solution to what we are asking for here. It is frustrating to be forced into using a certain ...

Just a friendly reminder to downunder from his past self: I know quite a few 100-110 kg blokes who owned 19m Dynos. And yes man, they DO tricks and know how to jump from a ramp. No HF for them because of the tide and crocks. Yep, crocks come and go with the tide. Imagine a foil kite in water infeste...

Trent you are correct in that what we need is a BIGGER KITE. I state in the original post that the gap from 17m to 19m is not enough and that we need bigger 20+m kites as the next step up from the 17m kites that many people use regularly. Peter was kind enough to calculate for us (including apparent...

Things are a little quiet regarding the impending release of the most advanced kite materials ever….

Anyone with insider inForMaTion?
Date?
Full and completely aluula canopy and bladders for sure this time?
Color?
Perhaps a new ++SIZE++ ?

Try this simple experiment everybody: Play your favorite song with the volume set to 21. At around the halfway point, turn the volume down to 17. Sucks, right? Imagine that the volume always maxed out at 17. What a sad world that would be. —- There is no volume knob for the wind. But we CAN crank up...

I work for B&M (DTK & Ion etc) Dan! Hey! I admit, I have never used any Duotone gear, but there is one thing that could change that… There is one thing across all brands that is missing from the the global kiteboarding gear lineup… There is one item that some of us would DEFINITELY BUY if it became...

I really think the biggest issue is the kite getting folded WHILE FULLY INFLATED. Think about it. That is the most likely scenario for the coating to be stressed. -Kite goes down and gets folded by wave etc. -Kite parked on beach, struts get bent back in the wind repeatedly. -Guy pumps kite fully th...
