Re: Looking for a good kiting video

We had the videos flowing non-stop while in SPI. I've become a fan of: --------- REAL 5 DVD Instructional Box Set Seems to cover EVERYTHING. Or if you don't want to go with the box-set. The "Evolution" disc in this series is great for those who've had at least one good quality pro-lesson. ...

Re: TFL Injury and Kiteboarding?

Kim-

Good for you! Just take it very easy, and of-course if it hurts STOP. I would recommend professional instruction, this sport is not one to just "start" on your own.

Good luck and let everyone know how it goes!

Cheers!

Twas the Night before Padre

Twas the Night before Padre. Twas the night before Padre and all through the house was kite-boarding gear and no signs of a spouse. The batteries and go-pro's were charging from zero. Which reminds me to go pack the handy Kite-Hero. In a small trailer our boards and kites they do travel, awaiting o...

Re: Forum direction

The only suggestions I have are as follows:

A) PM is pretty kewl
B) Topic = Sunday or Topic = Monday. Should be 3/21/2011 or Tues. March 31 2015. (this gets rid of confusion, although difficult to enforce unless you are a moderator with edit abilities.)

Trimming the Kite All trimming devices on kiteboarding gear have one purpose, they change the pitch angle of the kite relative to the wind. This is achieved by changing the total line length, relative to the kite.If ...

HA ha, I was out there at 4:30 in front of Clifton Launch... by that time winds were a bit light for the red 13m. Troubles keeping her in the air, packed up and went home w/ wet gear. :( Still got the heart pumping walking out there in ski boots and pumping her up, so that's a plus. Guess I'll have ...

Anyone Driving to South Padre in April?

ANYONE DRIVING TO SPI DURING APRIL? There is a huge group of us flying down from April 7-18th. The way I see it, is the group is pretty large and each of us is likely to have a pretty nice UPS / FEDEX / BAGGAGE shipping invoice. I know from experience that towing a small trailer is negligible in ga...
