Jeff Howard and his crew are, fantastic!

My buddy Poacher and I did a few years ago! Awesome spot - Half Moon Bay, a little less than a mile kite east from Leeward Beach, TCI.

I've got a Dakine Club Wagon (smaller 140cm size) and can fit 14m, 11m, 8m; 137 board, pump, bar, and harness. This is right at 50 lb weight limit, so just a standard checked bag fee for US airlines. It's tight fitting the board in - but can leave pads/straps on, just remove fins. Kites you'll need ...

Prevailing winds are generally from the easterly direction so you'll either be kiting at Barker's or out on East End. The only way you could get by without renting a car would be to stay in the 7 Mile Beach area, but that is leeward and offshore the majority of time. Barker's and East End are both a...

The black and grey parts of the stopper just fit snugly together. I'm assuming it wasn't designed to 'snap' in place so it's easier to manipulate while kiting (would be hard to unsnap the two pieces with one hand). You'll find that the stopper will work just fine out on the water - there is plenty o...

the only plus of the octopussy system is the valves don't damage the canopy...oh wait, there is an extra deflate valve on the strut so there is absolutely no benefit. it is only an extra valve that can damage/break which makes it harder or more work to repair. no, i prefer the good old hoses with t...

I bought three 2016 Naish Pivots a year ago...the 11m's high-flow valve was experiencing a slow, audible leak after two sessions (no matter how snug the valve was tightened down). There was a small knick on the valve surface, preventing a good seal. I don't believe this was anything I caused, but wh...

Should be out at the wingtip, on the inside of the kite. If you are standing with the trailing edge in front of you, it'll be on the right.

I've traded off rides on a friend's board that had a set of these mounted. I agree with Poacher, very very comfortable, and they adjusted quickly to fit my feet. It's apparent that the company is focused on building a quality strap/pad, without the distraction of also designing boards and kites to g...

I'm a big Nobile board fan and I have to second the "f* ugly" comment. NOBILE, if you need some help on the graphics PM me we'll get some great designs over to you at no charge! +3...I was excited to see what they had up their sleeves for 2015. Loved my previous 2HD. But quite a departure from bold...
