Hey you newbies, make sure you say hello and introduce yourselfs when you see some of us at the beach, nothing worse than seeing posts and not knowing the face behind the words, you'll find all the kiters are really friendly and happy to meet you. im the guy that has no clue :D I will for sure, one...

im just a nooB too. If anyone wants to show me, I will bring plenty of after session beverages as well

any type of string? would the control lines work?

thanks for all the tips boys. If the storms pass through today I will try to get it done later in the day.

sweet, sounds like the perfect place for me to learn

I will give it a go today or tomorrow, if I dont get it by then, I will have to bribe someone on here to help me out

Gotta have it done by thursday night

I didnt do it yesterday, but hope to get it done today As far as the process goes, I was planning on just holding it under water to try to find the leak. Does the bladder need to be removed for this part? I guess after that, it sounds like it should be folded like an accordian and covered with baby ...

hey thanks.....so where is everyone going today


i have access to a swimming pool, but will the chemicals have an effect on it at all?

So to start, I basically inflate the LE and hold it under water. Then go from there.

whats the best way to find the leak? Is it easier to hold the thing under water or spray soapy water and look for the bubbles. Also does the bladder need to be removed to find the leak?

The LE bladder on my Cabrinha leaks. It was purchased new from a shop in California. Do I just suck it up and fix it(I have never repaired a kite before), but it doesnt seem too bad, or are these warranty issues?

anywhere close to go today? I need to get out today

is there a good site to read about different types of kites, manufactures...etc

I would like to learn more about Naish, Slingshot, Cabrinha, etc

its so nice out, but not enough wind to keep a kite up. Damn

looking forward to making it out there this weekend, if I can get away. Im hoping to pick up enough pointers and tips to finally get the hang of this. Will be a nice change from just flying the kite.

I might be bringing my daughter...she is 10. Not sure yet, still trying to figure out plans.

is anyone going to Malmo or anything this weekend? My weekend plans for wisconny might fall through

It says private messaging is disabled. I am trying to get hold of the Cabrina rep...ET. He seems to hve some equipment for sale

Well heres a few more things maybe you boys can help me out with 1. Is the Cabrinha Contra 16.5 any good? Im not too familiar with brands yet as Im just a lowly noob. Is there a Cabrinha rep on here? Ive seen a few in mags.....btw great article about the MN boys Tighe 2. How do you do a water launch...
