Any 4 line bar with low y will work. Works really well with the 23 in Slingshot bar. The low Y also makes it easy to self land. I have had that kite since the first version and have never flown it on a high y bar, so can't comment, sorry.

Twice recently I have been approached by other kiters on the beach that wanted to try one of my kites. One was a sponsored kiter who was doing a photo shoot. He didn't have a kite available in the size that I had in my quiver. You should have told this guy to look for a better sponsor. Maybe one th...

I have the same issue with a V3 Ozone Reo. The leak is coming from the top of the valve, not the base. So, it has to be from the one-way membrane that keeps the air in while pumping it up, right?

Check the "sale" link for the 2017's.

They were down to very limited sizes when I look last week, but they seem to have a wider spread of gear in now- and an extra 25% off for Black Friday. Went through the process of ordering a kite/bar this morning. When you get to th...

I've lost a few baseball caps over the last few years. Sometimes I find them washed up on shore, however, very hard to find in the surf since the cap usually stays a bit submerged. Would love to see a cap without the mesh in the back since sun protection is the main reason I wear it. If there was no...
