Why on earth do people use those bullshit carabiner? That is not a weight rated carabiner. Only reason I can think he is hooked in like that is because he is not using a chicken loop or connecting to a rope slider. He should have never released the kite to the flag out line too much of a risk for it...

I have all ways been big into fitness before I was stuck behind a desk. I work shift work and 12 hrs a day at that. I work out before work or kite when its windy. If that means waking up at 1am when I work days that is what I do. It is a trained habit to be consistent over time. But it is the best ...

Just read thru all the hyperbole and speculation. Seriously the kid does not need an Allula kite win with. I know its the in thing right now everyone should make kites with it to make this fabrics cheerleaders feel full of joy. 99.9% of all kiters will never come close to Lorenzo or any of these pro...

It was implied on the Megapod podcast that the Na...

I would get a larger kite instead of the board. Boards only give you minimal increase in lighter winds vs a larger kite. At 74kg a 134 is is plenty big.
