Re: Help a mate launch or land, with your kite in the air

Re: Help with getting board on

here's a critical piece I didn't read in any of the previous posts. its what I tell everyone I teach, and its how its possible for people to water start strapless Your kite is pulling you slowly downwind, use the surface area of the board as a brake by keeping it perpendicular to the pull as you put...

Re: How short can a session be ; before ... ?

my def of a sesh is to throw at least one strong solid trick and land and to be able to come in in where I launched from. If you go for more and loose ground, that still counts cuz you COULD have landed at the origin site. yup maybe its 5 minutes on the water, but those five can keep the stoke alive...

Re: Lib Tech Waterboards

Re: Nosedive with fins on the board?

butters with straps Im assuming? the trick is easy, your fins are screwing u up. 1.5" are huge. with .8" fins and straps its difficult for me and puts pressure on knees for sure and limits the distance I can travel. boots give you a better ability to drive the board and get away with much more with ...

Re: concave??

The flatter the tail, the better the release ie better efficiency also it can allow for a greater rocker when board is on edge, yet a flatter rocker when board is flat, again, better effciency build a better rocker table, a flat one, where you can adjust concave. ie a flat table with a piece of 1/4"...
