Re: Older Valve Repair - Ocean Rodeo

Inflate and deflate valves used to be available online. I think we got ours from a shop in the Gorge. Many years ago. May take some digging. Good luck.

wind model

women's harnesses

To fellow women kiters: I need to buy a kiting harness and would appreciate feedback on ones that fit and perform well for skinny little females. I've looked online at some seat harnesses, as I find waist harnesses not that comfortable from my windsurfing days. Can I put a new kite bar on my windsur...
