Help! We've had a wind ceiling of about 10 mph for a week. Sailing squalls is exciting but usually short. Somebody please email some wind. Tennis, Hobie...
I was out yesterday with my (2002?) Liquid force APEXX 15 (I think it is the 15, maby 15.2.) the winds were 14 mph constant, and gusting gently above that. My...
Hi Rick You cannot post pics direct to these newsgroups, you have to put them in the files area. Just curious though, are the pics of you having sex, while...
I intend to use a reel leash for my new board, but I'm having difficulty obtaining one in the UK. Can anyone offer advice about how to improvise one? I'm sure...
Hi I can ship one to you pretty easily from Oz, it would cost you $82.00AUD and only $14.00AUD to Airmail it to you. I just sent a Blade to Flexi for repairs,...
A retractable dog leash will work for a while. (until it gets too rusted from the salt water) Better to go without a leash if you can. If neither are options...
I use a retractable dog leash - works great! I get mine at Wal-mart in Florida. Get a big one - they last longer. About $12. I use a good Velcro to attach...
Hi kite folks, I was in NJ a couple of weeks ago, and saw this unbelievable activity going on. It looks awesome! But you guys know that, so on with some ...
It must be a retractable clothes line, like when you hang out your laundry! ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free,...
You can get spare webbing from a decent retailer now, that is the only part that wears in my expereince, if the reel leash is set up correctly. I sold about 20...
While teaching, I frequently show how harmless kiting is to the student and any bystanders by simply asking the student to drop the bar to depower the kite...
I don't think it's a horrible thing to kite without a board leash, especially for safety reasons. I often kitesurf on my 8'2" surfboard and there's no way in...

Hi Mike I never meant to imply it was a horrible thing to wear a leash or not wear one. It is foolish to not wear one if you are not very proficient at body...
I'm in agreement with Steve. I think reel leashes are probably the best leash on the market.The problem with board leashes is that every body makes them to...
Thanks for everyone's input on reel leashes. The safety reasons for not using leashes is justified but every injury prevention intervention has to consider...
Very good advice here from an experienced addict! Hey Dennis, where did you come across the hair tie idea? A lot of New Zealanders use it, especially to hold...
Dennis - I've also been using a thin bungee (hair tie) to keep my chicken loop in the hook for about a year - love it - the best $.10 ever spent - I hate to...
Hi Steve, I think I have pictures of all the mentioned activities, but you may not want to go there. I'd like to have the refresher course, however. You are...
LOL"s :-))) So did you get some on the hobie, playing tennis? I may need a refresher course soon, it has been so cold, it is hard to get interested in...
August is the worst month for us when 10 knots is like paradise. I have a number of students booked for august and simply can't teach due to the wind...
3-D bars more or less allow kiters to launch and land the kite unhooked on land while still being able to control the AOA or the power of the kite. 3-D bars...
Hi Hung! I'm not so sure if a bigger kite, at least in the LEI category would fit the bill. I was out with Claude on his new 21m BT and we had winds in the 5- ...
Ricky, Were you out in the same wind? It's strange that the 21 BT would crash while the 16.6 was doing fine (didn't crash even once). Foils definitely fly...
... till now. In one day the black strap broke 6 times at different places. Now theres only of foot left of strap and i would like to replace it but i cant...
... only 6-7 knots. At 7 to 11 knots would be best. Also i relaunch the thing many times in 4-6 knots but lots of work for nothing never know when it will...
Hi I have been able to fix every reel leash that has ever been returned to me. I have sold hundreds of them. The centre screw that will not come out of your...
