Re: Kitesurf pop-up bag

It is always good to come up with new ideas. If understand this correctly you are essentially suggesting to sell a bag? A bag that holds a kite and possibly a board? Last time I checked almost all kites come with exactly this type of bag. Maybe your idea needs a little more explaining. But as of now...

Re: quick release ejecting accidentally

I don't know all quick releases around.

Do you care to provide some pictures in general or of yours in particular? Maybe add a little more info on when and how it happened while you are at it.

Re: Why do manufacturers do not list board weight?

I would suggest that weight is not a big differentiator between production boards (decks). I believe brands with high production volumes use the same factory, such as Playmaker Co, and the basic construction method and materials are the same, so the deck weight will be similar for similar sized boa...

Very often the combined hardware, fins, straps and pads weigh more than the actual deck.
Maybe this is true for twintips. I doubt it is anywhere near the board weight for directionals, let alone strapless boards.

Re: Race Drone filming Racefoil on Fuerteventura

Instagram worked. Thanks. (Though I would really have liked a non Facebook Inc. related link.)

Very nice drone flying skills! And, obviously, excellent foil flying skills!
At one point the drone seems to be really close to you. Was it? Were you not afraid to hit it or be hit?

Re: Kite gear not allowed in Egypt

OP, u do realise if we visit Malasyia or Indonesia (Bali), UAE, etc, we would never be allowed to Israel?! Even as Australians. Never heard of that. Any credible source for that? What I have heard about plenty of times is the other way around: Having visited Israel (stamp in you passport or other e...

Re: Race Drone filming Racefoil on Fuerteventura

I cannot see the video. Maybe it is some flaw in the forum software, maybe it is facebook doing something crazy. I just get to see this: Cannot load Facebook SDK. Disable any adblocker or tracking protection and try again.

Can you post another source?

Re: Why do manufacturers do not list board weight?

Thanks for the answers. I do agree it is much easier to write some useless marketing than to actually open up and be measured against hard facts. And it probably sells boards well enough. At least for me I can say that weight certainly does play a role. I would also argue that it doesn't take a lot ...

Why do manufacturers do not list board weight?

I was wondering why it is so difficult to find weights for kite boards, specifically directional boards. Other measures such as length, width, and thickness can mostly be found. Sometimes even volumen. But weight seems to be something that is not talked about. Every now and then I find myself lookin...
