LF Max Flow - Flap went missing - anyone else experience this?

Pumped up the kite (2015 10M NRG) rode for over an hour, crashed several times and crashed the kite hard a few times. Came in off the water and start to unscrew the cap on the max flow valve and notice air is leaking out. Once the cap was off, can't find the "flap" inside the max flow valve. It's li...

Re: Retiring in or near Hatteras, NC- Outer Beach

Will echo other comments about Hatteras Island being a great spot for water time, whether that is kiting, surfing, fishing, etc. So many options and with the bend in the island, all wind/swell directions can be had with a short drive. Downsides are apparent, like the road possibly washing out, but y...

Re: Why did you started with Kiteboarding?

Fate - Was riding along the beach at Kite Point in Avon - didn't even know it was called Kite Point at that time. There was a van, with a boom&bucket on top of it, set up to take pictures of guys riding in, hitting a rail, and then landing in the pool area. I was in complete awe and sat there watchi...

Re: Hatteras last min accomodations

Look up Tom Corpening === www.toesides.com
He usually has a line on a few houses and may be able to help you find something.
Plus he can show you all over the island if you'd like.

Have fun

Re: How much did you pay to learn?

Let's see - paid a couple hundred bucks in cash Paid a couple thousand in bruised ego bucks trying to learn something new and crashing constantly in front of my wife and kids. Paid a lot in gas, cause I'm always driving to the coast since I'm addicted. If you're going to Hatteras, recommend my buddy...

Re: Is kitesurfing really addictive?

hmmm...drove 3 hours to the coast because the wind was forecast to reach 19 by sundown, got in two downwind sessions in the ocean, up at 5:00 next morning to get back to work by 9:00.
yeah, I'd say I'm addicted and that kiting is highly addictive.

Re: Cape Hatteras July-August

Hey Murvalous That time of year, afternoon thermal wind may be your ticket. Basically the wind turns on in the afternoon as the day heats up....Wind definitely becomes steadier in Sept - Oct. I'm down in late July and hoping that the winds are cooking, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I woul...
