Re: Naish Helix 2008 Chicken Loop Desaster

Hi, I have been contacted by Naish since they wanted to learn more about what exactly had happened; to their knowledge some problem like mine did not happen before and they will take it into account for future developments. Naish was so kind to offer a free upgrade to the SmartLoop; I will try it an...

Re: Naish Helix 2008 Chicken Loop Desaster

The bar is the original one that came with Helix end of 2007. It has the plastic Tube/loop where you hook in the leash. Inside the plastic tube the safety line is covered in a red textile (I guess to avoid that the Spectra line breaks in the knot which can happen when the radius of the knot is too t...

Re: Naish Helix 2008 Chicken Loop Desaster

Thanks for your comments! When you are prepared to unhook - this is one thing. At the moment I was just taken by surprise; maybe I wanted to grab the chickenloop but could only get hold of the leash. My point is did somebody else face problems with the chickenloop slipping off the harness hook using...

Naish Helix 2008 Chicken Loop Desaster

Hi, I just returned from vacation in Guincho, Portugal. The conditions were perfect (at least for a few days) - wind 25 - 30 knots side-on to sideshore, slightly gusty and waves approx. 3.5m high. I went out with my 9.0m 2008 Helix (no smart loop with the bar) and my F-One Legend board. Towards the ...

Stopper on Naish Helix Bar

I just got my new Helix 9 and installed the 5th line as per manual (thanks to tautologies for the pic).

As I tried to put the stopper on I realized that it does not stop but slide on the lines - it this on purpose or is the stopper just not manufactured correctly?

I have been asked by some windsurfing dudes why I am wearing boardshorts over my wetsuit: I answered: "'Cause I do not want to be taken for a gay windsurfer!" - there was silence... 8)

So what is the best setup for the lines then? I tried the back lines same length as the front ones and I couldn't stear the kite at all since the backlines were hanging. Then I shortened the back lines by about 15 cm and I had the feeling this was the right setup. But I am glad to learn the best set...

Rhino 04, 20 qm - rumours about recall-back action???

I heard a rumour about a call-back action from North for the 20qm Rhino 04 due to bad flying performance. I bougth myself one end of April but only had a chance to try it out last week. The wind was about 3 Bft (10 knots) with slightly choppy water. I used the Jaime pro 128, which is definately on t...

You will have poor wind during summer time! West coast is muddy (huge dry areas during lowtide), east coast has some nice beaches but also rocky areas. Jenju island is supposed to be beautiful with excellent beaches and other entertainment. Wind in winter should be stronger. Korea is a special count...
