2 LINE ?

No QR on the loop?

7m2 for 20kts but you need a 9 for 18? I have to change kites with 2 kt wind changes ?


I suppose you would only SUK in very low winds so would only need 1 kite ?? I think I would rather use a Speed to SUK so I wouldn't have to SUK NO MO' when the wind got decent? :spin:

Yeah, scores about a 9.5 on my "Why bother?" scale ...

from a surfing viewpoint and not to be rude but Id rather paddle into a wave or out thru the break.....................

speaking from experience, turning a sup and keeping the a kite going is job. hard to turn!

farting around in a straight run is fun and can be quite fast. you still need decent wind.

although the kites look really fun , hauling those SUPs is a complete turn off. make the chicks carry it!

two line c-kites in todays market talk about small niche. about 2 years from now these things may come free with new kite purchase!

cool vid always nice to see the ladies going at it!

yeah I see a 2-line C to be about as useful as a screen door in a submarine (you know, to keep the fish out).

Lol. some funny replies. I thought they worked very hard to make that look fun. As good as those guys are at kiting it still looked like a lot of work for little fun.
The ladies on the other hand, I could watch them for hours.

i could do without the two line kite, brings me back to the Wipika days. i would like a SUP Board though for those summer days and getting Jr on my board. really what i wanted to say is Pick Up some hot girls on the beach. Don't tell Kitemama. :embarrased:

The wife wanted one "cos Cameron Diaz does it" then I told her how much they cost :lol: that was the end of that. Good thing too, I can barely fit the Flydoor in my car :o

My buddy scored an old windsurfing board for $150 and it works great as a sup. That might be a used market to tap into for suping on the cheap..
