Just some thought for the end of 2005. In 1998 a large number of kitesurfing pioneers started learning the sport and many have argued that was the year...

Hello all, I am new to this group and have been riding for about 2-3 months now. My question is this: I saw that a vote had been made in the polls for which...

Hi all I'm looking to buy a new kite. I'm looking at the new bow style kites but are they really worth the extra money? I can get a new 2005 naish V4 16m half...
Having used a new flat LEI in the last couple weeks on snow, my response is a definite yes for snow (assuming that all flat LEIs are somewhat similar). So far,...
Although I do not own a flat LEI (bow kite) I have read forums regarding the kite inverting. Supposedly after that happens, there is little control in ...
George, Some flat LEI kites have the invert problems due to their flatness. The flatter the kite, the more it tends to invert. I think that all future flat...
Hung, Could perhaps the inverting be controlled by adding a few more bridle lines that attach to points not on the leading edge of the kite such as that of a...
But wouldn't that make it like the Seasmik that we had few years ago? I would rate the new flat LEI as the way the future kites should be (both for water and...
