We have "holes" in the wind at out local spot that are quite predictable. Most of the time they occur when the wind is below 15 knots, the day is warm and water a bit cool. No I'm not talking about "doming" either. The interesting thing is that there is no real significantly high obstruction down wi...

Hmmm. Haven't had any issues with Aquaseal not curing. I've successfully patched several valves with it. I have flown the kite after 24 hours no problem. I put a weight around the valve for about 12 hrs after I have glued it with wax paper under the weight to prevent adhesion. All my valves that hav...

Here is a tip. On any transition your board and body should follow the kite. Think of it like point your board where your kite is. On a slide transition, try the following slowly at first until you get the time 1. Start edging upwind hard. 2. At the same time slowly bring your kite to neutral. (12 o...

I have no problems getting into my straps with it and find that I can still feel the board well when I go on strapless surfboard.

hate it when it starts to leak from the base of the valve on the bladder, i usually replace the whole bladder, but can't in this situation. What's the best way to fix ? Aquaseal is your friend! Just peel off the valve and then make sure it is clean and roughed up a bit. Aquaseal on the valve and bl...

A movie from Hel Penisula, Poland - last Sunday Crazy but funny :lol: :o :lol: http://www.kitepark.pl/video/5832443/ Was that a planned aerobatics display? If not, in Canada here many airspace violations by the pilot. Good thing he knew what he was doing. What were the kiter and windsurfer's reacti...

I used gluefix (which i read is Aquaseal) to stick a valve back on and it failed miserably? Is it not ment for this? Do you need to keep pressue on it for the whole time its curing?
