Hi everybody! Just bought a 12m Rhino "kite only". What is the best control bar length for this kite? Furthermore, I've got an 8,5m Wipika FreeAir from 2000. Everyone tells me that its bar is much too long. How long should the control bar be for an 8,5m Wipika FreeAir from 2000? Thanks for all info ...

... ever thought of the Flysurfer MastAir in 16m? There's NO kite that goes with less wind than this one!

I'm riding my Woody Wake since April now and I'm absolutely enthusiastic about it!! Technical data: length: 1,50m width: 38cm rocker: 3cm (flat!) weight with fins: 3,5kg material: 5 layers of plywood ("Okumee" resp. "Gabun") Info about this wood on: http://www.schiffsmodell.net/holz/dokument/doc16/t...

... sounds like a BIG, BIG cheat!!!

Location: Aachen, Germany
Main Spots: North Sea (Netherlands)
Holiday: Costa Brava (f*** the ban!)
Board: Woody Wake 1,50m
Kites: 9m Flysurfer MastAir
and 8,5 Wipika Free Air

I have to choose between the two of them. Is it correct that the Rhino does not fly as far towards the edge of the power zone as the ARX?
Thanky for all information!

Another possibility is to attach the 5th. line to the center of the main tube. If the kite lies on the leading edge pull the 5th. line and the kite turns (topples) and restarts easier than without this line.

Officially, kiteboarding has been banned (forbidden) at the Costa Brava on (!!) December 24, 2001!! Unofficially, you could do it during the low season (NOT July and August!!) at the beaches of St. Antonii, Pals and St. Pere Pescadore (approx. 80-100km north of Barcelona). Be careful during the high...

Looks great!
BUT IMPORTANT:
Don't attach the leash to the strap!!!
"If shit hits the fan" the board will pull under water like a submarine and will behave like an anchor!!!!!!
Add another plug at one tip of the board an attach the leash there!!!
