Re: Kite Pressure

my frontube says 6 psi...at this pressure it will bend like crazy when I edge hard..so I pump it to 8 psi...and all works perfectly. I have been wondering about the pump pressure gauge as when you push down you get a reading that is different to the reading when you pull the handle up, this is also...

Re: Kite advice for new quiver please

I was simply asking the original poster Mark about where he kitesurfs, since choosing such extreme kitesize relative to weight ? (and yes, we know now that you live in an "almost-no-wind-always" spot Supaez) :D Peter Hi Peter, In answer to your post.... There are a couple of reasons in addition to ...

Am i right in thinking the 25m lines are the way to go with this setup? As the NKB bar has different length options. s29feb - thats a good point about board size,...

Thanks for your input also.
