Then I just rap the the bridle line's around one end of the bar a bunch of time's then before I get to the pulley's I push the line's through the chicken loop and have it loop around t...

I like my 9.5m psycho. I've been out on skates and snowboard about 8 time's total. I was a little tricky learning to fly it from a sattionary position. It is a fast kite and found it to be perfect when I'm moving. I figured out a couple day's ago why it's called psycho. It's the speed that this kite...

Let's face it! We all love kiteing! I've had bad experiences on my favorite kites. Try again another day and be glad that there is all kite's of different kite's to keep the market wide open. I'd like to have LEI's and FOIL's for different situation's, condition's. I blew out my wrist(lol) flying ov...

Have you ever gotten any jumps with your BladeII 3.3m? My symphony 3.3m has never been able to jump. It's really just a trainer kite but I beleive that the BLadeII 3.3m is a whole_nother beast. I've taken my 3.3m symphony out in 40 mph gusting winds. That thing just shrink's in like an accordian and...

I've got a 9.5m psycho for highwind's on the water. I thought I could use it with ice skates in the winter also but it's just to scary. Today the wind was blowing 15 to 25 knots and gusting over 30. I made two tacks out across the lake on my ice skates. 1st one went about 45 degress upwind across th...

Look's interesting. Could you explain a little on how this bar work's. It look's like the 2 main line's go into the end of the bar and connect at the loop in the middle. Is that loop for manual adjustments and does it lock in place or is it meant to be hooked into. I don't see any stop knot's up on ...

Hay...Anonymous! I checked out the loose board you were talking about. The xx162: Say's it's a light wind board but it look's like its normal size being 15 inches wide. They talked about having negative rail's which is probably meant to hold the water pressure under the board. Is that why they can c...

I'm also looking for a light wind twin tip. I'd like to find something with a stepped rail to help keep the water under the board and plane earlier than a flat bottom board.

How do you like the 15.5 psycho. I plan on getting one in the spring to go along with my 9.5m :

Doesn't every think that they've bought and spent time getting used to is the best. Some kite's excel in different condition's for different people. What ever kind of traction kiteing you do is great fun. I've waited and gotten great deal's on the closed cell foil kites. Next summer I'll probably ge...

FunkyGravity, Hope you've got your kite figured out. I just got a 9.5m psycho and I've been trimming it for more power myself. I moved the knot @ the end of the main leader line a little farther away from the bar and the knot up by the kite where the main line connects, away from the kite. That made...
