Thanks marine Tex worked perfectly

I have a small puncture in the bottom of my Sector - V2 I think, from about 2008 maybe? I stood it up along side my truck and wind knocked it over. It hit a small rock sticking out of the pavement when it landed and punched a nickel sized hole in the bottom. What is the bottom surface made of and wh...

I pulled my LE bladder out to fix a couple pinhole leaks. I am in a hotel with only the bladder & it would help me a lot to know: When normally inflating the kite, is the inflate valve to the right or left of the center strut valve? -- this way I know which side of the bladder to look for the leak i...

I need cheap RX sunglasses. I use zenni. Big plus is I found surfshades for a strap system that does not come off- have not lost a pair since I bought their straps

We are going to be in the Front Range area late Dec and then up near Glenwood Springs first few days of Jan. Used to live out there many years ago, and from what I remember seems unlikely we will have snow for kiting that early, in that area. On the off chance we get lucky, my smallest kite is a 10m...

We visited a couple years ago in May & I planned to rent a board. I did not set it up ahead of time and had trouble making it work while I was there - most of the outfits were not yet up and running for the season. Can't recall the names of the stores - one was in Galway, one in Dublin, and one in S...

In light winds there will often be a noticeable increase in wind speed at 50ft above the water compared to 25 ft above the water - so longer lines and flying the kite higher will generate more power.
This effect rapidly goes away above 10 kts
