Thanks for the idea, but I don't like the sound of a pulley, gets a little dodgy when you start using stuff like that I reckon.

I'll just replace the current strap with a longer one if I can find one.

Yes, that's the bar. They call it 'Rodeo' I think! I understand the concept you are suggesting. Seeing as this kite can be quite powerful, I need to depower it as much as possible.

I'll look into getting a longer depower strap. Any ideas who makes them?

Hi guys, Just bought a North Rhino 12m, instead of the Aero that I was going to buy. I've read a few reviews that mention it can't be depowered as much as kites with the centre rope and strap arrangement (as it only has a strap adjustment). Has anyone made such a modification, and what have they fou...

Good point...ummm, it's not for my kite really!!! ;o)

Yeah, I know you can do that and there are loads around, but they are very low quality. I meant to say that I need a decent quality one that wouldn't distort if stretched to say 60cm wide.

Hi Guys, I want to add something to identify my kite from others (good if stolen etc). I'm looking for a good Naish logo so I can create a lightweight transfer/sticker to go down the side of the kite (which won't affect the performance). Does anyone have this or know where I could find it? An illust...

Thanks for clearing up some of my 'basic' questions. I've gone and ordered the Aero 12.

Cheers,

Thanks guys, I'll bear that in mind.

So, one more question then. When Naish state that a kite can be used between say 10 and 25 knots, Would the 10 be powered-up and the 25 be de-powered? That would make sense right?

Thanks for the reply. I don't have a wind meter, but I'll probably go for the bigger size...more fun. Another question then...I 'm probably being thick, but when a 4 line kite is 'de-powered', that just usually means less power, not no power, right? Unless I've got it all wrong, it seems that I migh...

Hi guys, I'm pretty much decided on an Aero after taking in a lot of info on the many new kites out there this year. I need your advice on sizing. I'm 5'11" (approx 180cm), 76kg and have been using a 2-line Wipika Classic 6.5m kite until now. Need a good 4 line to get better with and that I won't ou...

Thanks matey. (by the way, you might want to change the date on your PC...it made this thread jump back by 5 months!!!) Just realised though that I will be permanently shackled onto my kite leash, and I imagine there are times when this might not be such a good idea. Has anyone got any tips for adap...
