sorry guys - figured it out

'cable tie'...

None the less - are there any particular types recommended?

What is the of name clamp/tie that secures the tubing that connects the hose coming of the leading edge to the hose that connects the struts. Kind of like a self locking hose clamp - but for kites. (kite in question - flexifoil atom -- but the same thing is used in all my other one pump kites) It is...

Have not posted here for many years. But was trying to introduce my 12 yr old to kitesurfing. Had a brainwave which actually worked. We have access to an outdoor 25m pool - that is not shut at night (when it was empty) Got some extention ropes and was able to run around the pool - and pull my son on...

Interesting though - in someways kids in theory look like they could be such good kite boarders - ie if you look at children doing monkey bars they are incredible...

Reading through some of the posts - comments have been made that - if one is to use a board leash - a wave setting would be a situation where this is appropriate( a saftey enhancing feature). I can't think of a more needless situation for a board leash. If you are a beginner or a board loser - the o...

Interesting comment - flying an instinct on a standard 5line bar. I have a rebel 9m; which I have been using in preference when alone - has any one flown the instinct on a non ozone instinct bar?
