There is just to much to do in life to bother with strong gusty wind. I'm pump free except for one 6 meter that I couldn't sell for shipping fees.

We get so much lighter steady wind that it's good when the wind gets really strong and gusty. When it's like that I get the yard mowed, oil changed and other chores :puzzled:

Yup, pumps are for dolls:saint:

ARc's here! I've swam in twice in 2 years (i can't remember the last time before these two). One month ago, the stainless ring on my chicken loop adjuster broke and my v16 hit thte water on it's butt and layed over on it's back--went to leash. swam in through the surf and the kite jusat floated over the breakers. no damage. no water in the kite even though it took 30 minutes to swim it in. a month before that, my harness broke--v16 again. the winds were 25 with gust. the kite slammed the water and blew out a cell--it relaunched itself 7 times-up/down, up/down for 7 cycles! while i tried to gain control with busted harness. so it cost me $130 to have the kite pressionally repaired--and it flies perfect. buta then a guy ata the beach said his leading edge bladder was over $100 and those things don't last long I heard. I've had $250 total over 4 years on my v16--sewing/spars. it has always relaunched if nothing was torn or broken. i've only hit the water maybe 2 times a year.
