Thanks for your advice, we're getting closer. I'll be in capetown in January, looking forward to strand and muizenberg. Last year it was very often extremely fine with 12sm, only a few days with the 16. Afternoons in big bay there was 8sm but that was no real fun because it was too gusty. Right now ...

Hi all, what would be the quiver of Rhino6 kites for a rider with that shape: weight: 87kg, Board is around 130cm. I only want two kites, covering 11-30kn (4-6/7bft). Currently I'm riding Airblast in sizes 8, 12 and 16 (using 12sm in 60%, 16sm in 35% and 8sm in 5%). Bigger lowend would be fine (wher...

I attached the 5th line on the center strut close the front tube, using a flying line which was covered by a hose where it was wrapped around the center strut. There was a discussion about 5th lines in March 03, those days they said the 5th line offers the following features: - easy self landing - e...

@Hernan: I've tried a custom made fifth line on my bar for some week but I've banned it due to the following experience: remember the situation with a stalling kite falling on the front tube when after relaunch sometimes the front and backlines are twisted: with a four line kite: just ride back to t...

There is a dodge of how to stop a kite from falling from the sky shortly after it began to stall and this dodge works exactly the same way as 'UDS 200%' depower works. It is as simple as effective but as some surfers don't seem to know it I want share it with you: As soon as the kite starts stalling...

It happened on the Argentinian side of the andes in March 03. I've been on kite expedtion from Brasil to Chile, just stopped at a small lake two hours south of Mendoza for a decent kite session before crossing the andes towards chile. My mate was riding and doing some 2m hops, he was riding 20m Rhin...

The clips of my fusion 2002 are bending as well and it opened once so far. I'll try to send them back for replacement. Does anybody know if the clips holding the spreader have been reinforced in 2003?

..just attached a cheap one without rotation mechanism for the leash.
A swivel is a bearing, isn't it?

@ingo,

@kitesurfbali: ..with the Cabrinha Stopper ball you'll lose your kite anyway.. I meant either the flying line where the leash is attached will rip because the stopper ball will cut it some day and then you have to pull QR but unfortunately the leash is not anymore connected to the kite or you pull Q...
