Re: Prescription sunglasses

Better stock up now with your fave Transitions contacts.

Johnson & Johnson announced June 23 2023 that they are discontinuing those lenses.

Once all the stock remaining is sold that will be it.

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Yes long depower stroke The trimmer is pretty much useless Whooo hooo !! Also need to add that the classic Rebel design flies using the loaded 5th high Y Using the corresponding North bar the kite has a tremendous amount of depower ability It was said by North that it depowers 33% more when pushing ...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

🐢 21m Not too high aspect Example: take 19 Edge for an idea Keep it's same LE length to make the 21m Go with longer lighter weight 5 struts to add the 2 sq.meters to the rear of the kite That's what I think for now is the easiest to do for Ozone Make a 21 that weighs like the 19 We are not trying to...

Re: 148x47 for 80Kg VS 138x42 for 70Kg - better low end?

From experience but with 74kg vs 52kg
Both on 17m kite
Wider board wins
Gets on plane faster being wider/ longer and less rocker
42 cm wide boards x 138cm have a more curved bottom
And less rail length for board to bite the water
Wider tracks better
So 80kg vs 70kg is not a big difference of weight

Re: Walking a single front line - max wind?

@ purdyd Yes 40 knots average is a lot Could be 35 to 45kn or 30 to 50kn Steady 40kn quite rare (46 mph) 40kn steady walking both lines is douable In my case 5m on 20m lines Shorter lines = you have less to walk The whole landing process is also quite faster And I stay hooked in Pushing the QR / 1 s...

Re: Walking a single front line - max wind?

My opinion is it is better to land the kite to the side, pin the kite, unhook, disconnect the leash and walk up both lines. If something goes wrong just let go. Yep land kite to the side Pull the trimmer all the way to add slack to the steering lines ( often better to do before bringing the kite do...
