Re: anybody have any experience carrying kiting gear w/U S A

Throw a couple golf clubs in the bag or have a backup plan in case they do ask you to open your bag. They can charge you a ridiculous amount if it's not golf clubs. Airlines are getting real smart, they want your money. This happened to me once. The guy wanted to charge me like $250, one way, insist...

Re: Slingshot Rally Quivers

Tighe,

What quiver are you liking for your 2014 Rallys? I know you listed 14/12/9 for non-2014 Rallys.

Thanks.

Re: Slingshot Rally Quivers

Thanks Tighe. I weight 195 lbs and ride a 135 TT. I like riding powered, jumping etc... Looking at all years in the Rally. Is there a year in the Rally you like best?

Sounds like the 2011 12m is smaller than the average 12m...

Slingshot Rally Quivers

With 3 years of Rallys, what have you found to be the best quiver for MN (assuming 3 kites)? I would imagine the 14 is a must for anyone riding a twin tip. From there, would you go 12m? or skip to a 10m?

Possibilities:
08/10/14
09/12/14
10/12/14
Other?

Thanks.
Jeff

Can the guy sit up on his own? If so, a simple saucer would work.

Re: light Canopy repair - kitefix vs sailtape vs ?

Hey Rob, How did you end up repairing your kite? I have a 5" by 5" L shaped panel tear needing repair. Its overwhelming how many repair products and methods there are...and they are all so different. Glue, mesh, patches, tape, sewing, panel replacement. It'd be nice to quickly repair with ...

SUP rentals

Who's renting SUPs around the cities? I'd like to rent 2 of them for some day next week. I have yet to try it out. Seems like a fun thing to do on a no wind day.

Re: Adjusting control line length

I would have someone who is used to flying foils take a look at the kite. I don't know anyone who has modified their Ozone foil lines. Try pulling your depower strap (shortens the lead lines) and see how the kite responds. Check your line lengths. I think Ozones should have all equal lengths (not su...

Octane 9m and Rally 8m

Anyone ride the Octane 9m or smaller? Currently own the 11m and looking for 1 kite smaller. Not sure if the 9m is too close to the 11m.

Re: WACONIA TODAY

No problem at all! I am glad that everything worked out the way it did.

What can you do when your center (leash) line does snap? How does a kite usually behave when this happens? Just curious...

Re: Need Advice Smaller Board

Thanks Rob! I have been looking into that Cab board as well. What are your thoughts on it? What size do you prefer?

Anyone have any experience with the new SS slider binding system? The SS Darko? Is it compatible with other pad/straps?

Thanks for your thoughts!
