Re: Weather models for kite apps

I forgot...since you’re in the midatlantic, pay attention to Shea Gibson’s forecasts on ikite. You can learn a ton from him.

Re: What are best wetsuits for winter windy extreme conditions?

I have a good deal (-50%) on 2015 Xcel Infinity X2 6/5mm but before committing, should I pay double for 2017 some other highend wetsuit?

Re: 2017 Ride Engine vs Dakine C1
