Re: Switch Kites

Just saw this video post of the Switch Kites Nitro 10m, on this video you can see how the kite turns:



I would like to see one on of the 12 M Method on the surf if anyone can do a video the way this one was done.

Stone Harbor, New Jersey

I will be in Stone Harbor, New Jersey from July 27-29, I'm wondering if it is worth bringing my gear. I have seen a post on Stone Harbor but it dates back to 2002, but even that post did not offer much info. I have also checked out kitebeach.com but I can't tell how old the info is. Can anyone offer...

Re: Kiter killed by shark at Stuart Beach

A friend that grew up in that area told us that there are large schools of fish called Blue fish, which run 5-15 lbs, running in large schools along the beaches which the sharks feed on. They are a very strong tasting and bloody fish that put up a hell of a fight when caught but are not much for eat...

Re: 14 metre griffin or 14 metre thruster

Why did you switch? How do the two kites compare? I switch because I wanted a kite a little more stable and with more power, I found all those things on the Griffin, which I thought it lacked on the Thruster, and the price was right. I have found those same qualities in the Cabrinha but they are pr...

Re: 14 metre griffin or 14 metre thruster

I was out on Sunday on my 16M Griffin in San Diego and the wind range was from 12 mph to 16 with gust up to 18 and lulls in the 8 and I was totally powered up in the lulls and comfortable in the gust. I even took out my 128 Freak Dog board. I weight 180 lb (82 kg) and I was able to stay upwind when ...

Re: 2009 Griffin pics and review -Check it out!

I have made the modification that is posted on the Griffin site to make my 16M turn faster: http://www.griffinkiteboarding.com But I have not had a chance to try it. When I first got the kite I moved the connection on the steering line to the third knot (closes to the bar), will this make the kite t...

Re: 2009 Griffin pics and review -Check it out!

I live in San Diego, weigh about 180 bl (80 kg) and I'm a intermediate. I bought the 16 for San Diego and the 12 and 9 meter Griffin for traveling. So far I manage to use the 16 three times, twice on surf and once on flat water. My initial reaction was that the 16 looked and felt big but once I got ...
