Snowblades are great for jumping, but they require much more energy to edge than a pair of skis. If you have never skied or snowboarded, skis are far easier to...
Hung, I agree, kiting is a great 4 season sport. This year I found a location to snow kite that has a hill and deep powder. I can honestly say it is more fun...

There was a great event put on by Florida Kiting in Jupiter, Florida recently. A lot of team and independent riders showed up to shred off of this great...

A summary of the circumstances of this tragic accident have been posted along with ideas on how to try to avoid repetition in the future. I regret bringing up...

There's that guy in Hawaii who comes off as a Prophet promoting short lines...and I've gone the other way stretchng out to 30+M looking for an advantage -...
On snow, you can go as short as 0 m line (high speed run, no jumping) For sailing on water only, you can go as short as 10 m For jumping you can go as short as...
... ............Hung: You are making good sense as usual, but this is the only point I do not grasp from one sentence. Elaborate please for us simple-minded....
... the only point I do not ... The shorter line limits the wind window sphere (the distance the kite can travel - therefore shorter the time the kite can...
Isn't it also potentially dangerous; eg, if you use shorter lines and a larger kite, couldn't you be at increased risk for inadvertant lofting? ... From:...
I am not sure what is more dangerous: oversize kite with shorter lines or normal size kite with normal lines. I always prefer to use shorter lines in very...
... ......Sax: Explain why you'd think this would be so? In my limited memory, lofting almost always seems to be associated with gusty conditions... Opinion;...
Living is inherently dangerous, and dying is natural and inevitable. Lofting can be avoided, common sense would and does prevent a lot of near/or death...
... anything you could potentially be lofted into/onto. Keep your kite low, is the way to go! ... .......seems as obvious as not crossing an autoban on a...
Hi Jim Zenith does not really imply anything negative, and provided it is used and explained truthfully and honestly, there should be no hassle with using that...
I own a couple of the older Airblast kites (the original, not 03 model). I recently purchased the new Wipika C-bar and leaderlines to essentially upgrade the...
Hello, I tried for the first time my Ozone Frenzzi kite with a snowboard... It was like I expected... Great :-) But Is it not easier to use surf straps instat...
The easiest is park the kite on the ground with the leash, then put your bindings on, then launch the kite. In strong winds you may want to use the steering...
Christophe, I use K2 Clicker bindings instead of straps because they are easier to handle. However, straps work just fine. The best method for launching an...
Good guestion... Usually if its not too slippery I launch the kite, then land it using the brakes, and by while having the brakes on keep it down while putting...
When launching w/o preinflating, don't be afraid if the kite turns over to leading edge down! If you just gently tug and release/tug release the brake line,...

Just came back from a family vacation from Varadero, Cuba (this is a family vacation so I have no say about where we go) I did some research before going...
Hey Hung Wind speed averages are figured with data over a 24 hour time frame. Winds generally die down at night and as such, night wind speeds will be slower...
After my trip to Varadero, Cuba, I start to wonder that we, kitesurfers, were so restricted to windsurfing traveling destinations in the past. Varadero is...
