I signed it yesterday after reading it on Armin Harich's FB page. We have similar problems here in the US. Kitesurfing is banned along the whole of the Cape Cod National Seashore to protect the endangered sea birds. I'm all for protecting wildlife, but there are not many kiters. To top it off, peop...

@ Heinzbush: I know. However this was a default by my 2013 North Rebels: If you take a look at the round black patches on Rebels 2013 (and probably every other north kites 2013), the sewing doesn't go till the edge of the patch, thus, if the adhesive looses strength sand sticks to it and they sort o...
