i ride as tt in the waves. for me i want a fast kite for easy direction changes. it needs to have lift to boost over waves and float down wind will. the kite i find most fun is the 9m c4 in 18-25 knots. it doesn't relaunch super fast tho. thats not too much of an issue because i don't crash kites th...

Nice one mate. Good vid and excelent board building skills.

how long have you been building boards?

velcro straps. make sure they are wide and tight. its the water jetting up that balloons the legs.

your going about it all wrong. buy a big van and have all your kites in the van with the struts pre-inflated. then pull the kite out you need only inflate the leading edge and bobs your uncle. PS my Ozone kites come in an ample back pack and a loose fitting pull string bag (like a sleeping bag, bag....

These days I just use the me scale of the front face.

head height.... double head..hehehe (that one sounds like a porn star move)

alot easier to understand.

ps i too think measuring the back is both a confusion and pointless exercise.

yeah when your not jumping/changing direction get that kite low, get out of poo stance and learn way the hell back. not only does it look cool your harness will be pulled back down to the right spot no need to go back to the beach. See how close you can get your head to the water bu arching your bac...

just do you water relaunch. its light wind who cares if it hot launches. if theres no or only small waves and you aren't very far our just wait till the kite slowly pulls you to shore the pull the safety. if further out do a self rescue. i would only do that after all other attempts have failed to r...
