All wetuits suck!!! Drysuit is the only way to go!!!

GORETEX baby!

I think Scott hit the nail on the head. Locals working together are the only way bans are going to be avoided. Florida is a very crowded state. The square footage of the beaches we ride is not going to get any bigger, and the amount of riders is only going to increase. Add incredible wind, popular t...

Allow me to chime in.....Steve-O here from Watersports West. First off, thanks Rick for looking up that old thread about this issue that Scott brings up as it is something I wanted to do but just haven't had the time. I do recall the request for standards, and I do recall responding appropriately. W...

I define a recall as something that has failed or is going to fail. The job of a line is pretty simple. Cabrinha went with a new line for 2011, and just wasn't happy with the result.

These things are built using Core Vac technology. What that means is incredibly strong, the lightest thing you have ever put your han...

Got to demo one the other day out in the light stuff, around 15mph. I weigh 150 lbs. Water was flat, no wave action. Kite is still the fastest kite in the Cabrinha lineup. Kite still has the least amount of grunt in the Cabrinha lineup. I did notice a little more low end than last years model. I rod...
