Re: Waterproof GPS Tracking Watches

Does it need to be a watch? http://www.alpinereplay.com/trace/pre-order http://www.woosports.com/device/ http://xensr.com/ ...or take a gamble on the results you get for "waterproof gps logger" or "waterproof gps tracker" on ebay/google? This reminds me, I need to contact the Trace people about my 2...

Re: Am I the only person that thinks SUP is gay?

Very similar actually:



But definitely not gay, because "the log driver's waltz pleases girls completely."

Re: Ion Air Pro 3 cameras??

I got an original Air Pro on closeout. I've been happy with the purchase. I use it to record my bicycle commutes, kiteboarding sessions, timeplapses and whatever else. It's not a GoPro, which is probably a good and a bad thing. The good is that it has a form factor which makes sense and doesn't requ...

Re: Instructional Video: How to Drift Launch Your Kite

This video got posted to the kiteboarding reddit as well. While I usually like the Always Windy videos, this one kinda sucks. It's fine for what it is; but isn't at all useful for situations where you *need* to drift launch. Kite the Bay has some better videos demonstrating the common technique, but...

Re: Pimped my bar!

Why not red/green ? (looks nice dosent count if there is an impact on safety imo) Roughly 10% of the male population is red/green colour blind. These people cannot be deck officers on ships, nor can they be airline pilots. Both of these disciplines require testing to ensure that the individuals in ...

Re: Run away kite!

I've never trusted the kite pump to hold things down when rigging, I was always afraid of the kite getting away on me like the stories here. A few years ago I started setting up tether bags for launching and landing (even if there are other people around to launch, who knows if they'll be there to h...

Re: Vacuum Seal Bags

I've tried the 'space bag' vacuum bags. While they worked (once); they're flimsy shit and easily get pinholes, rendering them useless. You know what works just as well or better at a fraction of the cost? Kitchen garbage bags, or whatever, and a vacuum (or kitepump if you want to work your back and ...

Re: New kite package

Your instructor should be able to tell you whether a 9m kite is appropriate for your weight and the conditions in your area.
