Re: Reedin Supermodel 3 - help

It's the same problem with my Naish Pivots but more on the 12m. Reedin is a similar shape kite. It's one of those tradeoffs that comes with huge jumping kites. I tried all kinds of different line lengths and bridal adjustments then the simplest thing helped me. I change the fins on my twintip from 4...

Re: Pump vs foilboard

I have the Microchip for kite foiling. You could pump it or kite with it even jump if you grab it. It is super strong. With that said it is so small you would have trouble running and jumping onto it from a dock to start pumping.

Re: Duotone lines still poor quality?

Front trim lines for most companies notoriously fail after a season or two, I switched to Q -powerlines just for the front lines and have been solid for over 4 years now. I did have to replace one line from my own user error. Kite went down on beach but lines tangled in rocks in shallow water, I tri...

Re: Kite Seat Harnesses

Always had a seat harness, I think it's my body shape and bad back, currently loving the Dakine Fusion since it has the hard back. Older seat harnesses wore out after one season but this hard back seams to last. I know I look like I am kiting with a black diaper but hey, I am old so best to get used...

Re: Traveling with your Kiteboarding equipment Southwest airline

So some update on this, they are cracking down now but it depends where you are going. I have the nsi golf bag and it used to work every time to Maui and back as golf clubs. Now they check every time, so I threw some golf clubs in. They saw glof clubs and said does not matter you have surfboards in ...

Re: 5 strut Kite Size

Are you finding that the 8m just turns to fast? I do know that a high aspect 5 strut kite like the XR turns slower, some people love that, and some people dont love it. They also float more when it comes to jumping. I switched to the Nexus and my landings when jumping are much harder unless I have ...

Re: Naish Jet 1050 vs MA 1000?

@br44 you described my exact problem. If I get going to fast the Jet 1050 just wants to come right up and breach so at higher speeds I am standing on the nose of the beard trying to keep it down. Gonna grab an MA 1000 on sale as I also think you are right with them being thinner they should hold mor...

Re: Naish Pivot S26... lacking low end power?

Hi "Halpipe62", I need to experiment with the knots on my S25 9m. I though the "inner knot" (being the one nearest the leading edge) was the high wind setting (king of the air setting), should this not reduce the low end grunt and increase the higher end slightly? In this video Ewan Jaspan says the...

Naish Jet 1050 vs MA 1000?

Heavier rider hear at 220 lbs primarily in light winds with big kite. The Naish Jet 1050 2020 model has good lift and stays up even on an idle. Question is if the MA 1000 is just a wash, meaning it will be about he same. What I am looking for is the same lift and light wind abilities but with a bit ...
