So if kites are genuinely bombproof then groynes, bushes and broken pieces of shell should be considered weapons of mass destruction.

Hi All,

Many Thanks

Did we ever find out the identity of the silhouetted rider on the kiteboarder logo?

Why aren't they wearing a leash ?

Good News I hope?!

Hi Cypher, I would suggest cutting down all four lines. If he's left with lines that are following visual inspection are in good condition, then its no big deal, might even find kiting more fun if he takes them down towards 20m! I wouldn't bother with splicing, just buy a sleeving kit and knot, they...

I'm convinced I disturbed a few of these last night coming in from a paddle. Warm shallow water, sandy floor. Was so paranoid having been tormented by waverider's posts for many years. Decided to use the SUP paddle as a weaver?? mine detector, and I could see them darting off.
