me, shadow and 40 minutes with ovando (VIDEO)
unit is finally ready after not just 4 valves but all 5 strut valves!.
http://vimeo.com/34418262
ride starts a little crowded , alot of visitors, but quickly get away and run this unit.
8-12mph fun little warm up with ovando roughly 40 min.
i immediately switched kites and went for another 2hours on Vii13m(haven't gotten to that segment of raw file yet).
unit is a little small for me and would not consider this unit til about 25 for the water and it loops but not really snappy enough for my style.
the big bar feedback on this large bar is sluggish and feels like it needs to be even bigger! close grip redirects are doable but requires extra
effort to make it fast.
any way enjoy

Great day for sure, thank you for sharing, wish we had spots like that to ride here!
One of the last videos on the GI, I assume! Can't wait to see the next flick.
Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

Got a water session yesterday in 12-15 mph and my Waroo 20m. Unlike your session, there wasn't more than a half dozen people on the beach. Water
temps were surprisingly warm compared to last year (54 degrees today). If we hard pack sand like you do I'd of kept my land board. Get ready though,
gonna get real cold the next couple of days. Forecasting down to the 20's at night. Can't wait for my trip to Florida!  |

So how do you redo valves? Do you need to buy new valves and glue them on to the existing bladder? I have a slow leak in one of my struts that i
believe is coming from the valve. It is so slow that it is difficult to find even with soapy water.

ew- still quite a bit just from that session to go through on the flight 93, did the last part with the Vii13. new ride should be here any day!
BK - sat we got decent light air session , the land board is better than marginal water session esp. if its cold.
AD72 - old valves (the original valves) just peel off easy. the U -stick that leak are a #@%$#! to get off , if at all, sometimes cut the out
....repair the hole...then add the old valve back on. never bought a new valve or bladder.
to find leaks --put a teaspoon of dishsoap in a spray bottle, pump kite, spray valves and connectors ....and in a minutes you'll know without a
doubt.
thanks for watching guys
