No discrimination or insulting on matters of race,religion,gender.nationality or kite-type or brand,heck no discussion whatsoever on this Forum.
Just peacefull exchange of usefull information,interaction between understanding, loving and respectfull individuals is what we're after

Or don't go out in gnome farts,sufficient real wind in the Netherlands.

Maybe in 15-22knts nothing can beat the true C-kite feeling for you.I think a lot of kite-veterans will feel that way.
Like L. says.

Well back in C-days 12 was the best kite to learn over here,and to progress we needed the power of a 16 to be able to do anything in the light winds we were comfortable in.
Take care and remember hard objects downwind are your enemy.

You cannot get to extreme moments without control,unless you fancy being dragged along the beach like a ragdoll at 30mph. Competent kiters that are way overpowered,only cruise with their kite high,unless the water is flat as a sheet you have no chance of much radical action if you're way overpowered...

A main concern of SLE design will be to reduce this oscillating effect as much as possible,bridle geometry plays a big part I think. My own solution to creating more depower on my 4-line C is using an SLE-bar with stopper,the added throw adds about 3knts to the comfort range of the kite. The added i...

If you love yourself and kiteboarding,just add a 11 C to your quiver, until they've sorted SLE's out for freestyle performance. Personally I think the design parameters are too far apart, a SLE with 100% C-feeling ain't gonna be flat with bridles. Even adding a 5th to my 11 alters the kites behaviou...

Submit yourself to enormous powers,whilst remaining in a foreign environment and then trust manmade contraptions? Nah,I'll just keep a close watch ,and try to have fun. Kitesurfing was and still is a dangerous sport,but over here riding horsback is more dangerous. Its not that there are no options,t...

Just thump it on the nose and you'll be all right (good solution for most problems you encounter on this side of existence).

At this moment there are a lot of kites with the Ronstan pulleys on their bridles,90%of the SLE's are using them,we're talking a serious ammount of kites here. What do you expect,a failsafe component? Such a thing is near nonexistent. Read the original posters story and make your own trouble-scenari...
