The Pound Sterling dropped, yet not a single thing has changed since the Brexit, and probably nothing will change for the next two years according to some experts. Really, not a single thing? Food prices are rising, fuel prices have risen, the trade deficit has widened, racially motivated attacks a...

Take a 9m kite and a saw and whenever you're somewhere that looks good just make yourself a skimboard out of some scrap wood. It probably won't be amazing but it will allow you to get out.

I can see a situation where the centre line gets wrapped around the bar and doesn't leave enough space for that release to work, yes. I can also see a situation where a foreign object such as seaweed jams up the bar. That 2012 release system may or may not have had issues at the time but Cabrinha ha...

Well the number is important - if you're moaning about kite companies still using hooks/chickenloops as standard, then you need to propose a solution that works for almost everyone. If only 1% of riders unhook then you can probably ignore...
