We rented and sold a lot of the mach1's last year and never had that type of problem.

Ron, sorry to hear about the kite. It's a sickening feeling when such an expensive piece of equipment gets damaged. Get The Loft to take a look at it, they fixed my FreeAir leading edge after similar damage (razor shell) for about £80 incl return postage. Sometimes it feels like this sport is just money, after money...

When I saw you on Saturday, you 'self landed' a Mach 1 (I thought that it was a 12.1). It made such a big noise that me and Kev sh*t ourself.

I don't know how regularly you do that but I can't imagine it being any good for the kites.

The conditions were (in my opinion) dangerously gusty and I think that you landed the second you got off the water for safety. My strategy was not to get off the water until I had signalled for someone to catch the kite.

Hope to see you soon,
