woody, that is interesting! I guess if 18-25 knots is not enough for you then you could go further south. eli

on safety again, the wichard and all the other "quick releases" release your kite. Most people who have these systems don't also have leashes. This is how one fatality happened i believe. You release your kite it can go and kill someone else. With the recon system when the shit hits the fan, your ki...

remember that safety is a big selling point on these kites. People will only swear by this system when something really bad happens and they depower the kite using the recon system. This luckily doesn't happen much, but if its safety you are after then this kite is probably better for you. So many t...

man, all of the islands in the Caribbean between PR and Tobago rock then. Jan and Feb usually have an 18 knot daily average. Some days are considerably higher and some days are lower, but you can count on having some great warm riding in al of these islands then. eli

TOBY!

you were there right?

what else happened?

I think helmets have to be worn all the time when the kite is up. The guys here i speak with don't see why, and i would l...

The info so far seems to be stock from the PKRA site. I for one am interested in this type of thing. Can we have a better account in the ne...

Man, all i want to know is if the range is greatly better than the old Norths, and Dwight test the kite in 13-14.5 knots. Well those conditions are perfect for the old north kites. Please let me know how the new north performs in 12-20 knots. All the new kites are fast and stable but not all of them...

PS It is important that we all learn from Mick's misfortune. However, as a matter of respect, please let us all allow a few days before we go into the intricate details of the cause of his accident. Well said Neil T! Tell the family that there are people all over the world sending their words of so...

hey guys, your pic says its moving west and the big island is north of the storm so it would seem that they are safe just like we were today with our one which is way stronger. Sustained winds today of over 145 mph near the eye!!!!!! It just passed north so we have huge swells and not too much wind....
