That Wind Weapon: When was that ?

Not so far. There is really no play in that section. Just be sure to avoid having sand there

By the way, to transport this board and gear I just bought an Osprey Shuttle 36 bag, which is really amazing as it can be expanded pretty amazingly due to its 'angel wing. construction

I have a Nobile Split 134 which I brought with me last summer to Corsica.
Had a few days of strong wind (9m kite) and the board perfomed real well.
I have also used it a home in lighter winds (15m kite) and it worked surprisingly good.

We do not know his level of experience and what equipment he was using at the time.
No way to know if it was avoidable or not.

you know it takes about 30 seconds to pump up a kite by hand, right? Hah... I'll be rigged and ready to go... Not fatigued before you finish running your lines. And have more energy to ride. Pumping kites by hand is a waste of energy. To each their own but enough with the suck it up buttercup crap....

As mentionned a few times in this thread, a GoJoe is great for visibility in choppy water.
It can be installed on a board but left deflated and rolled (held by an elastic band), to be inflated only when conditions warrant.
