Im not sure if thats the revolver in the pic. There wasn't a color scheme on the one I rode but it did have 7 struts. The kite I flew was around a 7m and had really nice turning speed along with stability, it reminded me a lot of the royal era that I got to fly which also was really good. I've got ...

from the locals at my spot i heard that a wave kite must be : -fast -must be able to turn around his wingtip -have lots of depower - not much bar pressure (in some's opninion) - verry stable -... (the rest I forgot :P ) The Revolver is an offshoot of the Omega. The Omega with its shorter lines, fas...

Dude, how is keeping your hand around your waist (which is where the bar is when hooked in) more natural on a top turn. Are you sure that you surf? Pictures and video will clear it all up though. Post it up. By the by, someone told me of this dood called Kelly Slater or something who was supposed t...

I decided to let the post stew for a bit, what a mess. Proclamation of superiority through negative downplay of others abilities and equipment use, Wow?! What a turn off. You'd be better off just posting the pictures and nothing else. So to be fair I've watched videos of Felix and probably 30 other ...

I'm not being critical so don't take this personally but I think what happens is that riders get bored with the limitations of twin tips and mutants in the surf. The boards are really limited to one type of turn and one arc. Their low volume means you need full power all the time and this makes it ...

I've yet to try it on a kiteboard but if the fin is canted even a degree or two the tip of the fin should be deeper in the water then it would if it was not canted while the board is on it's rail. Spinning out in my mind is when your rail pops out of the water and you lose control. How canting the f...

I have two different designs that I use for my boards. Both models are flat on one side and curved on the other. If you check the board builders section you can see the fins on a board that I did for customer http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2330301 When I first tried the fins I put th...

He still shapes for North. The 07 Rocketfish is his design. Boards like the Jaime Pro and Sky Pro are not done by customer shapers anymore. They prototype shapes using the actual production snowboard factory, so the boards prototyped ride exactly like what we all buy and ride. The days of shaping a...

Beware kiters! It seems that as a group we have been targeted by the thieves that operate online. So far I've gotten bogus offers from kite buyers and sellers on Ebay and they are also hitting the Iwindsurf site. The Iwindsurf one is so bad that I won't even try to sell on their site. They will clai...
