hein and bill am i correct in understanding that the action of turning my kite on a pulley bar will cause it to have more power in the turns than a simple fixed bar setup? - because of the effect of the centre lines lengthening when you angle the bar and that the magnitude of this all depends on th...

me too still riding a c with a pulley bar i borrowed my wife's sle but it didn't feel so good unhooked i havn't tried many sle's so maybe i dond't know what i'm missing Actually I did the same.

In relation to the original question, I don't think there is a universal answer here. It really comes down to the type of surf your ride and how you want to ride it.

If you people are so disinterested in anyone elses opinion then what the hell are you doing on this forum? ......Tell me why you like unstrapped, unhooked kiting. But free your mind a bit first. Don't just regurgitate the finer points of a different sport with different limitations and different fr...

Why look to surfing? Well we are kiteSURFING. Unless we want to look to paragliding or competition kite flying for inspiration, surfing provides a pretty good benchmark for how to ride a wave with a board. Sure we get to use a kite and sure it would be stupid to not expect to make the most of that, ...

If you people are so disinterested in anyone elses opinion then what the hell are you doing on this forum? If you are genuinely disinterested in or disturbed by a discussion comparing wave riding styles then stand up, unplug your computer, head outside and simply forget that this nightmare inside Ki...
