Re: Crazy idea?

I guess less than 1% of kiters unhook so the standard spreader should not have a hook, period. And a modern seat belt style quick release is actually just as fast to operate than a donkey dick and will make the kiter practice using the quick release all the time. And similar to what others have stat...

US import duty for used kite shipped from the UK (or elsewhere in Europe)

I'm planning to buy a used kite from a seller in the UK. Has anybody done this recently and paid any US import duty? It would be "informal entry" since the value is well below 2500 USD. Also, I had a hard time finding a tariff for "kites" on this site: https://hts.usitc.gov/ Here's a 17 year old thr...

Re: Pulsating kite

13m lines are way too long for an 8 square meter race kite. Not sure if your measurement includes the leader lines but I ride an 8 with approx. 9 meter lines plus leader lines or about 10m from bar to pig tails and many racers go even shorter. You won't believe how much of a difference it makes in g...

Re: Hydrofoil design - too sharp edges

The elevator of the Nacra 17 foiling cat has recently been upgraded to reduce the risk of cut injuries. There's now a thicker torpedo like section at the wing tips and the performance difference seems to be negligible. It would probably be just the same for kite hydrofoils. https://nacra17.org/rudde...

Re: 2021 Formula Kite and A's Youth Foil Worlds - Gentler conditions open up the games in the A's

Great to see those young riders ripping. I'm just wondering why they chose a such a super wide board (47cm), especially for younger/lighter riders. Compared to the adult riders the mast is shorter so the wide board makes it really, really hard to heal over in strong wind and waves. Isn't there any o...
