Re: Florida kiteboarder critically injured when he crashes into St. Peter pier

Looks like a messed up attempt to jump the pier, with clearly quite a few people on the pier in/close to the flight path. Even if he took off well his board could slip off and hit a pedestrian on the pier. He puts the public at risk here. Hope he recovers well, we have all done silly things from tim...

Re: Does anyone reuse Kite boxes?

100% keep them, I use them for postage when selling on in the future, really useful strong boxes.

Re: Great tips for a longer kite life

Chlorine is water is so low and generally evaporated off by the time it comes out a tap it would have zero effect of the ripstop, it's an old myth that.

Re: Battle of the lake

Any details? Never heard of it before, there used to be a freestyle event in the lake behind Rhosneigr?

Re: Naish Torque 55 ATB 2020 vs 2021

Just measured my ATB 55 - As per "Dirk's" measurements - settings allow for 50cm on outer setting and 45cm on inner. I have never had any issues with slow turning speed on the 50cm setting, I ride my 14m Dash on that and it's plenty fast. Naish don't do a bigger bar.

Re: Deciding on first Big air kite

Larger board = easier to land tricks because of more surface area.
That's not the case in my opinion. If anything it's harder if the board is oversized as you will catch an edge more.

Re: Deciding on first Big air kite

Hi, what the other recommended is spot on, get a small edge, best would be an 8m for your weight.

Re: Deciding on first Big air kite

I would go for a 8-9m Naish Pivot, superb boosting kite, fast turning (unlike the dog slow turning speed of the Edge :-) ), super stable and great wind range. The Pivot is just a great fun kite.
