Re: Can kite-boarding cause hip problems?

Yo Hat, I've gotta agree. Since I started riding strapless I have no more problems with my knees and hips. Riding the surfboard with straps I get lazy and don't change foot position. I end up riding toeside a lot and it kills my hips ( residual from an old mosh pit injury). Don't get that when I rid...

Re: Technique: the Toeside Front Roll, aka the "Worm Burner"

You don't really need a lot of pop to do this trick, nor do you have to loop the kite, although you can. You rail hard toeside (hooked in) with your kite high, and after you look to make sure I'm not downwind of you, take your front hand off the bar and throw your head and shoulders down towards the...

Re: WHAT WENT WRONG? Ft. Lauderdale Lofting Summary

I stand corrected. But looking at the video, Kevin is horizontal the whole time, and you can see he is accelerating through the entire flight. Wonder if there is a way to estimate his speed. I've seen long loftings that occurred with the kite high, but without the horizontal speed like in this case....

Re: WHAT WENT WRONG? Ft. Lauderdale Lofting Summary

You should NEVER have your kite at 12:00 if you're standing on the beach, period. Where do you send your kite when you want to jump? Thats right, 12:00. Once your feet leave the ground, you're at the mercy of the gust. Crazy things happen when the wind velocity doubles or triples suddenly. Looking a...

You guys keep saying sand is a danger to this system and can jam the mechanism, but in bekite's demo vid, he sticks a ROCK the size of a coffee bean - which I don't see how this could get in your QR - into the mechanism while its open, in order to make it jam! Does anyone else see this? How does a r...
