Re: suitcase for splitboard

https://nobilekiteboarding.com/products/kiteboarding/bags One Hand Cover Bag / Check In Bag I too use a Nobile Check in bag for my split. The great thing about it is that it's also a backpack -- so once I get my board together -- I can use the bag to schlep everything (7/9/12+2 bars, impact vest, p...

What about the magic WD40 ? Has anyone tested ?
WD40 is a solvent...there is nothing I'd use it on...especially soft rubber seals.
My 2 cents as a mech engineer.

Re: Are you afraid of sharks?

No...but I rely on statistics to make risk assessments. You are more likely to be injured by your lawn equipment or a meal -- do you worry about those? Shark based statistics are very misleading as they count the entire human population and like 70% of people never swim in the ocean. There are cert...

Re: Asymmetric texture for bar grip orientating

Yes I get it . Let’s call That front to back asymmetric. I am talking about using texture to reenforce what the color coding of bar sides is doing . Left-right asymmetry. I have found its easier to feel than to see, when you are disoriented. That's the exact same thing -- if left to right is swappe...

Re: I broke my ribs, what next?

Oh man -- I've been there -- totally sucks. I was wearing impact vest AND Ion B2 when I broke mine -- so it is possible to break them with gear better suited to avoid :) Six weeks + for me -- just give it time -- lots of time...and as others said -- avoid sneezing if possible. Also might want to con...

Re: 2022 Ion B2 spreader twisting upwards so easy - What the h?

Thanks, Mashimisha2! I'll try to rig up something similar -- I'm thinking I'll try modifying the spectre flaps to fit within the B2 buckles and see if I can get a strap from the quick-lock to the leg loops. Worst case is I'll try the hook with downforce.

Thanks all.

Re: 2022 Ion B2 spreader twisting upwards so easy -- What the h?

Thanks! Unfortunately, even with the small fitting perfect and cinched tight -- the spectre spreader will still rotate right up....I can rotate it 90 degrees right into my stomach by hand...and the downforce straps won't work for me as I plan to use the Quick-lock so I can ditch my donkey dicks enti...

2022 Ion B2 spreader twisting upwards so easy - What the h?

Hey all -- hoping someone can help. I've lost a significant amount of weight AND my original 2016 Ion B2 is getting older...so I finally got a new one...a small 2022 on closeout. And since I do mostly self launches and never unhook, I thought I'd give the Quick-Lock a try so I just ordered a separat...
