Turbo Psycho

Went out to Tonka today to join Alex and company. There was barely a breeze. Facing the wind was only slightly cooler than facing away. no tree movement, extremely quite(2-6mph max) I took the 9.5 Psycho out. What an amazing kite. First of all it amazing that it even flew in such little wind. Alex w...

The Legend continues

Kiter...yeah right. To date, I have never seen someone massage a wave quite like the legend...Robby Naish. I don't know what my eyes fixated on more, Robby or that huge smooth face.

I don't really have any idea about the science of ice, though your post brought something Randy mentioned last year to mind. I think he said that he wears neoprene or was it his drysuit, under his winter gear in these iffy periods. Definately would be a good idea if going on questionable ice. Also, ...

just got off the phone with Alex. He had the 15m Psych out last night. Said he got going about 20mph....in 2-3 mph of wind...yes 2-3mph. Said the breeze wasn't even enough to inflate the kite...had to run to inflate. If this is the lower limit of kites, there will be very few days that aren't kitabl...

Even though I love my bladder kites, I am psyched to try out these new foils as well. Larry got some Flysurfer Psychos in. They are 4 line sheetable like the tube kites. They're know for huge, long airtime, on ice and water. People are also claiming they get a 15mph range out of each kite size....Un...

white sneaker? I thought they were black...that's why it's not working. Guess I'll have to return these 23 pairs of black Nikes.

2003 Slingshot Fuels

Just picked up my 2003 Fuels from Scuba Center and boy do they look sweet. Clearly they are one of the leaders in kite design and development. A bit higher in aspect from last year, more rubust materials and reinforced stitching, one handed valve opening, truncated bladder ends and a incredible new ...

It was for me, cause Coach did all the technical stuff. The configuring part of it, which I did is very easy. There are numerous styles or appearances you can download or create your own.

Contact Coach at Mark@blueearth.net for info on whether or not there is considerable work to host it.

We were in the same boat with our previous Chat using Front Page. We are now using phpBB. Their site is http://www.phpbb.com. Don't know much about other options so hard for me to compare. Coach?

Good luck.

Inactive Features

There are a few features of this new forum software that don't quite work yet. The "notify me when a reply is posted" feature and the "watch this topic" feature do not at this time work. Maybe in the future.

Personal messaging has been turned off.

sorry for any inconvenience.
