It's very different for the kiter when you mentally are prepared for the high jump and have for it the gear etc and when you very sudently are lifted up 80-100 m in 4 seconds being in center of tornado, must survive, escape tornado center and land successfully. In this case talk about records is […]
Could be sand, but I am pretty good at washing my gear.Also if it were sand I would have assumed it to wear the point where the line rubs against the plastic (yellow dots)However the wear is right where the two loops tighten against each other. (red arrow)Also its intresting that 100% of the wear […]

So are you saying that the split distance is the factor here for the performance or the line qualities - or both?The real thing I'm trying to say the best way of testing kites is eliminate variables. Same lines, same bar length, same bargrip, etcI think most people will fly a kite with the same […]

Reedin seems to have a yearly update.PS: I heard that F one is about to release a new model designed with Charles Brodel, I guess Brainchild as well.Just bought a 7m trigger […]
Even the pigtails could make a difference. Not a huge one, and probably unnoticeable for most users, but the difference is there. Harlem, for instance, uses slightly longer rear pigtails. On the other hand, I remember my new North Navigator Pro bar felt way underpowered with my Ozone kite until I added some pigtails to […]
