I'm requesting pointers on where to set my bindings on my wake, how far apart, how close to the heel-side rail for better edging, etc. Please consider that 1. I've never ridden a wakeboard. 2.

I have a Naish 13.5 AR5 and a Slingshot Fuel Houndred, 10.0. They both work nicely for me no matter what the situation. I ride a 215cm directional, by the way.

What's the scoop on the 2001 liquid force flight kites as far as durability, water relaunchability, and performance. How do they fly when ccconverted to 4 line kites?

I don't know about thermical winds either but PR is indeed a relatively small island ,100 x 35 miles, albeit not as small as Antigua. A good source for weather info is the NWS weather site http://www.weather.gov . Go to the state weather, click Puerto Rico, and then on the text version link. <font s...
