Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Wondering about in the early days when they would stack stunt kites like Flexifoils - could we do that and get the same pull as 21 meter with 2 stacked 11 meter light wind kites? It can be done, but it doesn't work properly.. The upper kite will fly faster when moving through the window generating ...

Re: North Navigator Pro Bar 2024

First time out with the pro today, the red is V bright & perfect, also the plastic tabs for the line bands really stand out & the green is v bright. Grip is perfect a nice mix between comfort & durability. The untwist is vey effective & made a noticeable “clunking” sound?! & the difference in line w...

Thanks & it seems that the 12m lines can just be added on after I remove the 10m set

I do not like the 12+10 m lines setup. Should be 22+2 in my opinion. And the lines are pretty thin (1.5 and 1.3mm)…don’t know braking strength though
Agreed and presumably 12m lines can be added to the existing 12m ? I hope so, as I have just ordered a set of 12 + 10s !

Re: Any lightwind-specific surfboards left on the market?

This gets going quicker than any SB & near enough as soon as a kitefoil board - I have a 54 & love it! Just remember any 2nd hand board is likely to need the fin boxes re-glassed/epoxied in https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325802701565?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=P8gzN-GvRd-&sssrc=44294...

Re: (European) car for kitesurfing?

Lol…. A roof crane ffs !!! But I do take my roof box on & off, & it is a pain in the arse, because it's huge, but means I can drive to Spain with x4 in the car + dog! I also strap a wing board onto the roof box, plus take a separate quiver bag!!
