Re: Bahia Salinas Costa Rica

100% go to Bahia Salinas at some point in your kiting years. It should be experienced at least once. It's both everything you've heard and nothing like what you've heard. Lizard summed up pretty good. Leave light wind gear at home and bring your smallest kite. I think that my favorite part of being ...

Thanks for stepping in a clarifying MartyD.

Everything seemed like there were little details missing from the details.

Re: jfc $233 import duty on an $840 Switch kite

The Trump Trade War with China imposed 15% duty on kites and bars, it is now at 7.5% duties on kites and bars. The Biden Administration has yet to scale this back.

You likely paid $58.80 in duties, the local sales tax rate was likely applied, and you paid brokerage to the carrier.

Re: Ocean Rodeo New Accessories Just In Time For Summer

Sounds like Delta is the issue. I love flying with Alaska Airlines, $25 and they don't care unless it's over 50lbs. It fits a Ocean Rodeo Duke just fine, the board is 5'4". I've navigated airports with 2 of these bags, one off each shoulder. It's much easier to navigate and turn corners. Great looki...

It cross my mind that the OP was trolling us all but it was a new profile and thought that maybe some other newb would be reading this one day.

Re: Different Kite and Bar Brand

The only thing I'd like to add to this thread is regarding single front line safety vs 2 front line safety. As long as you bar it's a single front line safety system, then go ahead and use it across any kite. There are still 2 front line safety bars out there and if you have that system, well I'd su...

Re: Trying to get into Kiteboarding is this a good deal?

Dude, there's no situation where this is a good deal. Seriously, walk away.

Take lessons and buy used gear from the school you're learning with.

Good deals on quality new gear on a budget:
