Virgin Islands Kiteboarding Catamaran 2012. You In?

I'm trying to get the captain of the Rubicon (44' St Francis) to move over to the Virgin Islands for a month or so this winter for a kiteboarding vacation. I need some other groups to book the catamaran to make it happen. If I can get a couple groups to book between Feb-March we can have our own pri...

Re: Cozumel Island 4th annual Kite Event.

I was down there last year for Kiting and Carnival. It's a great time and Cozumel is a very friendly island. I stayed at Casa Viento where a local kiter Raul de LiLLe runs it with his girlfriend Nichol. I can't say enough about how cool this place is. Kiting right behind the place at the Country Clu...

Re: Do I really need "Oh Sh*t" handles on my bar?

I would keep the OSH on the bar and clip into it at that point. If the steer lines do multiple loops before you want to eject the kite they might not flag the kite to one side. The newer kites have center swivels attached at the bridle lines that help the center lines pass clean. Though I have seen ...

Re: Cold kites deflating

Check that the deflate valve is fully closed with the velco strap tight. I had my T2 leak while riding as the exhaust valve was pushing out. This has been a problem with both the T2 and T3. One more thing, when you inflate it let it sit for a bit to equalize the struts out and then add more air.

Re: Mille Lac's Lake 2011 snowkite crossing?

I live on front range around Boulder. Almost all of our kiting is up in the mountains. If your up in Breckenridge hit up the Sanitaryium for easy park and kite at the very south side of lake Dillon. Can't miss it on a windy day because someone will always be kiting. Most of our kiting is snowmobile ...
