Re: Solution to wet wetsuits!

I see no point - just throw the suit on a hanger, over the bar for the shower curtain.

Or use a strong IKEA towel holder like I do, flips to the wall when not in use, easily holds multiple wetsuits.

Need something for boots and gloves though.

Re: Naish Universal Bar Lines Lengths and Setup - Please He

I'm getting a little confused about all these extensions, but the following guideline might help you: All 4 lines should have equal length with the chicken loop against the bar and depower set fully powered. How you achieve that is not important. You can probably change knot positions on the leader ...

Re: winter hoodie for ion fuse drysuit

Any 3mm neoprene hood that covers neck and outline of face will do, O'Neill for example. Just make sure it sits outside the drysuit neck seal to prevent water from entering. http://www.oneill.com/#/men/europe/collection/men/wetsuits/surf/boots_hoods_gloves/coldwater_hood_1/black/ I don't know the io...

Re: North Evo 2012 9m, now wanting Dice 9m, comparable?

I have not tried the Dice, but I swapped a 10m Vegas for a 10m Evo in not very powered conditions. Vegas pulled much less, felt much less powerful. But same board speed and upwind angle. Evo floaty jumps but not super high (with limited time on the kite), Vegas more ballistic up and down. As we were...

Re: F one Bandit 7 Vs. 2014 North Rebel

Hi, I'm looking to buy a high performance kite. Should I go for the 2014 Rebel or wait for the B7 to come out? Thanks! Picture this: You arrive at the beach with your mate, just the two of you. You both have 9m kites (26-28knots), no way to self launch whatsoever and no way to launch whilst your ma...

Re: North Trust Bar 5th Element 2012 25m - blue

Be aware that new North bars do not support the Microhook as far as I know. Perhaps it can be fitted to a 2012 bar. Personally I have been dragged towards rock because microhook hooked unexpectedly, so I took mine off - but if you are used to using it, I guess it's different. get the bar and see how...

Re: North Trust Bar 5th Element 2012 25m - blue

I did convert at 5th element bar to fly a 4 line kite, but it is not ideal: 5th branches up high, and it can affect the shape of the kite - may or may not be important for Draft. By adding extensions you can reduce this effect. You need to rig the safety system. One option is to attach the lower 5th...

Re: Front line swivel mod w/ single front line safety,Workin

I tend to agree - if the frontline B is longer than A but has a figure 8 stopper knot just below the swivel, it shouldn't snag any more than an attached safety line with two joined eyes. The blade uni bar also does not have a bungee for safety and could have used the above system, but joins a short ...

Re: Front line swivel mod w/ single front line safety,Workin

New Swivel with ceramic bearings? Still cant find a place to buy one. Thanks, Let me know what its like when you fly it. They are really expensive - this is europe, but it goes for 89 GBP including a depower line. The link doesn't show the price, but it is listed elsewhere on the site (category ove...
