How many fin boxes can you knock out of a board before its not worth fixing anymore? Asking for a friend.

Beware when fueling up the car near the airport when returning. They will try to rip you off. We fueled up our rental car and they punched in the numbers in the debit machine, then they put my card in and hit okay so I could not see the amount I was being charged. Last trip we used Samuell. Easy and...

Rule number 1 avoid contact and make intentions early of your direction of travel. It's a pretty big ocean or lake with room for everybody.

I've been involved with sailboats all my life. I used to instruct when I was younger. We did teach right of way but it never came into play until racing. Then you would use right of way as an advantage to force some one else to tack or bare off when they didn t want to. First rule is avoid others.

What is your largest kite?

New kiter here. I'm in the 200lb club and I was wondering what other people who are heavier are using for their large kite? I have a 12m and I'm trying to decide if I go for a bigger kite. No foiling for a while. Strapless is fun enough for now.

So what are you riding on big guy?
