Does it matter? I was just replying to the statement that weight decrease means a durability decrease. One can easily find different examples not related to kiteboarding, where a lighter material is indeed stronger (the question of durability vs strength is below).
True, but how would you test durability? For us kiters, what matters most is for how long a kite would last with 100% of its original performance. There are multiple factors to that: coating of the material, resistance of the coating and material itself (UV, sand, salt, water), type of usage. It can be measured by doing some averages and inspecting kites after a fair amount of usage. Even so, I don't think weight is a direct factor in any of these. Strength seems so to an extent, but is certainly not the only one.Strength and durability are 2 different things
For sure it's not positive PR . I would rather be kiting than posting here, but the truth is I was really anoyed with all these problems and the way DT responded.SolarSet wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 11:48 amThis starts to look like black PR, how can you ride kite and just only notice such a severe damage to kite?
Not a fan of DT but as someone already mentioned DT must have like 40% market share if these were genuine problems we would have heard more people complaining
That’s normal after heavy use. Old, new, same same.
Define heavy use...I know this guy and bar is less then 1 year old no more than 30 sessions. Doesnt sound like heavy use to me...otherwise I will be in trouble soon as well
