Re: Rant alert! my god! who the hell can afford kite equipment

To bad that SWITCH has closed. I still have a 10 and a 13m², sorry can not remember the name :-) They are made for the next century. And 2790,- for a 9m², never ever!

Re: Pansh payment

Hi,

bought my first Panshes beginning 2017. 2 rules I learned, I would like to share. Never in no case ship with EMS and never in absolutely no case pay other than Paypal.

Could be that other guys have other experience, that is mine.

Re: Triton Board; anyone have tiny holes?

Hi, you can not close pinholes with a spray gun. What you can do, after you have cleaned the surface, fill the holes with the help of a thin needle with 2k clear paint. After dried up, give it a quick wipe with water and 3000 grid paper and a short polish afterward. But to be honest, if this would b...

Re: Triton Foils releases the first accessible monowing: Triton T1

Hi, at least the bottom, maybe the side walls, are also printed. But what bugs me more is the "Chinese Carbon". Looks like black tinted chopped Sauerkraut with some air. Beside and I tried to find the correct translation for the German word "Verknieung" which is a German word used in engineering des...

Re: Faulty? brand new board with air underneath fiber

No that’s wrong, the inserts you can see are closed off or known as blind inserts. You can’t screw through them as they are solid metal For a second I thought we are facing the one I have right in front of me. https://www.fischfabrik.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/IMG_20230109_165103_484-scaled-e167...

Re: Faulty? brand new board with air underneath fiber

Hi, looks like delamination caused by the strap screws. If they are slightly too long, they make a bulge that causes delamination. The part that delivers the thread is made out of V2A. Epoxy does stick on this more or less. More less than more. The white stuff looks like some sort of poly something....

Re: How many boards do you own?

Two,

a Shinn Speedball, 2014, got it new for a price hard to believe, I was looking for this for years and the last Snicker, carbon mold injected and now 10 years old. Unfortunately, I dumped the mold and I hope it will last another 10 years.

Re: Goodbye F-One - Liam Whaley

I think F-one was busy developing their wings and foils and could not full focus on designing the Bullet. I am curious to see how Liam will push the limits of the Dice and Rebel! You can see how they push the prices. We are facing a dying business model in real time. I am not willing to invest in a...
