Re: Fake Kite Lines!?!

I have some Q-line pro Ive used for years(5+) and its still like new! Normal lines have broken within months (Flexi worst for me) I bought some 700lb lines very cheap off ebay at least 2 years ago and these are still fine, just a bit soft (harder to untangle), and thick, dyneema, so you can buy chea...

Re: Should I use these old kites, or get something newer?

I still have a 9m Yarga and 12m aero, but dont use them anymore, Aero was 2002, Yarga came out 2004. Have recently flown both when newer kites being repaired and the aero felt really rubbish, Yarga OK but poor bottom end. I would get rid of most of them and get something like Ion2 which are pretty c...

Re: Blankforce boards ?

Hi all,

Due to delays with stock, I never got to try the Ballistic last year, but am now looking again and wondered if there was anymore feedback about the board?

Cheers all,

Si.

Re: Anemometers, do you use one?

Ive had one for 10 years +(still has original battery!), and think its a great tool. It does wind chill as well so you can adjust a bit for density. Its nice to know if its windy enough for the smaller kite without being underpowered, and how gusty it is. If you have one you will use it for sure. Si.

Re: do fins really need to be so sharp?

NO they dont ! if I remember correctly from windsurfing days, as long as you file the sharp back edge square, about 1mm across, the corners release the water just like a sharp knife edge. If you round the trailing edge you get drag! I have always done this to all my fins and I can still sail faster ...

Re: Wind up to 30-35 knots, kite 9m - doubt

I used to sail often on a 9m Ion in winds measured on beach at 30mph+ upto a max of 40mph. I am 90kg and sail in cold UK winds. I have replaced this kite with a 9m Hifi comp "C" kite but now feel unsafe over 30mph as this kite is unstable in high gusty winds. I sail small boards which makes a big di...

Re: Best wind/kitesize for big air?

My highest jumps were on a 9m Ion in 30-40mph.....the kite was so steady you could really go for it and in those winds you get the second kick :D The ion finally died last year and was replaced with a 9m comp, still getting used to it, but I dont think its a 30-40mph kite (need the 7m) as its too un...
