I would say that you should just get a small back pack to carry that list of stuff you ride with. The problem with the backpack is that it's hard to fit well over the vest, if you still want the vest for flotation or impact protection. I had the NP High hook and didn't like it either for the same r...

i have a BEST Cabo quiver and fumkin' love that kite! are there kites out there that jump higher? i bet. kites out there with better depower? probably not. if you surf waves get a wave kite, if you ride freestyle strapless get a wave kite, if you like low bar pressure get a wave kite, if you like b...

I learned on an original LF Foil Fish setup and thought it worked fine to learn on even with just the full mast. I just switched to the longer fuselage and I really wish I had that while I was learning. If you get the original LF setup, I would highly recommend starting with the longer fuselage. It ...

Do you have a way to seal it off without the gauge? I would rather not have the gauge or the golf ball, 😂. I'd imagine you could put a small bolt in with the same thread as the gauge. Obviously way better deliberate fixes. I just wanted to put this out there for someone to be able to fix their pump...

Lost the pressure gauge on my WMFG pump while it was strapped to my kite bag riding a Seadoo. (It was a bumpy ride, so not bagging on the product). Anyway, while randomly looking around for something to fill the space, I discovered that a golf ball fits perfectly and allows the air to get through th...

2012 Epic Infinity V2. This kite has been a battle tank for me and has the scares to prove it. Put in a new LE bladder a little over a year ago and its still going strong. It was my kite of choice for my local kiting 85 to 90% of the time, but now that I am foiling, I have been flying my 13 and 9 a ...

Your topic title sounded like a terrible idea, but then reading your post, you obviously have a sweet setup and great contingency plans. Not sure that having someone on standby with a boat counts as kiting alone, but it is very cool to hear about somebody living the dream. Adrenalina is a very inter...

Should not they make leashes that break away or detach at twice the body weight? Who's body weight? Mine, yours or that twig of a bastard that weighs 90lbs soaking wet? All you need is just a few small extension loops, made out of ropes with different breaking strength. Hardly adds anything to the ...

I think it's the 5/6 kt lulls that you get when you are out foiling that a 12m strut less or a foil kite will still stay in the air that's what gets you home without a swim. Exactly, my point was that eventhough smaller kites are useless because they can not pull you - they can be held flying in hu...

Hmmm, would just point out one thing that many "newer" kiters might not know... The bigger the kite, the more difficult it is to keep them "flying" usually :roll: Yes, some of the biggest kites are designed lighter than the smaller ones, but normal kites that got only a slighter lower weight/surfac...
