Re: NZ Kiter visiting - Advice from the locals

I loved my time in NZ and the local kiters were super friendly. Happy to return the favor.

Re: Carbon fibre boards!!! Are they worth the cost?

I realized I'm responding to an old post but in case you are still interested I ride Brokite carbon boards and think they are fantastic. Light and responsive.

Heading to Loreto, Baja.... Kite?

Hey, I could have sworn I posted this earlier today but it's vanished.
I'm off to Loreto tomorrow and am thinking about taking a kite and board. I understand it may not be an ideal spot but with a 14.5m Flite I can probably make go in pretty light wind. Any suggestions/advice?
thanks guys

Looking for ride from Raleigh to OBX, May 2nd...

Hi guys, this is a long shot, but I'm hoping someone might know someone with travel plans lining up with mine.

replying to my own thread...

Kailua Bay?

Hi Years ago I stayed at Kailua Bay on Oahu for family vacations and a bit of mellow windsurfing.
