Aloha All, Been kiting since 2000. Started with a 2 line Naish 9M and a 6' Sky Pirate board. Used a wrist leash. Moved to twin tips shortly thereafter, the Best Waroo in the mid aughts was a game changer for kites. Over the last 5 years have gone back to surfboards and using mostly Naish kites, Park...

I'm going to be listing more stuff next week (but alas I don't ship out of the US). But you should check there for other sellers. Ikitesurf.com also has g...

Alex - I just ordered a 16 and a bar to go with my 9 and 12. I know I am late in the que for the 16 but could you give me a rough estimate of arrival?
