This has been discussed in previous posts. Mine used to come out going toeside also. You're right, good thing they have the extra strap. Now I cinch my strap down until I can barely buckle it. I haven't tried turning the clasp around backwards and I don't want to hammer it. It's one of two bad desig...

I know what you mean. I currently have an EH two kite quiver, a Beast 10 for 10-20 and a Ripper 10 for 15-30. I think the new ultra flat - the EZE - comes out next year. I'll probably switch to a EZE 11 and a Ripper 9 when the EZE comes out.

This is what I read from an DR kiteboarder: "In the north we are OK, but the country took a big hit in the south. Many bridges and lifes lost. Lots of the poor live right on the shores of rivers and got whashed away because they have no early warning and live in remote places. In contrast,.. for us ...

I've had my chicken loop pull out twice, even though I had my donkey dick in. One of the times was almost a kitemare. I was coming in to the beach to land with lots of people around and strong winds when the CL came out. I was lucky someone was there to hold me down. I've also had the right side cli...

Taut, exactly, ride whatever gets your rocks off. You're busting some good moves out there. My theory still holds though, you're a young dude, not an old fart. It's typically the older crew that put others down for not being like them, i.e. using a surfboard. They're close minded and obviously suffe...

BS.com - I agree with you on the surfboard issue. One of the pro riders was in Kailua this week, and he said "how come so many guys in Kailua are riding surfboards when there's no waves?" Nobody had an answer for him. It's coming to the point where kiters using surfboards are dissing kiters riding t...

This pretty much sums up the U.S. involvement in the Middle East.

Looks like Jesus got his butt kicked out of Vietnam by Buddha, and now he's getting kicked out of Iraq by Mohammed. Onward Christian Soldiers!

Warning - I've been using their Mystic Warrior waist harness for three months now and the spreader bar is already rusting. Another guy at our beach is having the same problem. Really good harness other than the bar. The hook on the bar also doesn't have enough bend in it. If anyone knows where I can...

What did you think of the Ripper 2008?

The reason there were glassy spots at jump city was because of coral blooms. Happens the second week of August every year. The coral bloom emits some chemical that acts like oil and smooths the water out, even though it was blowing hard. Smoothest riding I've ever experienced. Wish the whole bay had...
