I'm shaping a kite specific surfboard right now, just getting the project going, and am trying to figure out what the best rail shape is going to be. I'm figuring harder rails through most of the board would help with upwind performance. Here's the design I've made for the board. Fairly flat rocker ...

-golf bags (golf bag rentals??) This!!!! Excellent idea Todd. I know a couple people who've had to buy them for a one off trip to Cuba or Mexico (I'll rent one for two weeks over Christmas) The full on equipment rentals I would see as being a headache and opening the door for too much liability (an...

Hook knives (2 bladed) & kite tape!
DVD rentals of some sort would be pretty wicked too

Thanks Dave, Its a slow work in progress, figured I should start documenting some of my hairbrained projects :p No Daggerboard on this badboy, I dont think it would help all that much (my feet were underwater when I was standing on it, needs more volume before it'll float me) I haven't seen the hock...

Almost, opposite direction (widening). Thats why i'm trying to figure out what type of plastic it is. if its similar to ABS for working with, I dont mind working with it in the slightest (I rebuilt the bodywork on one of my old motorcycles that was in 20 something pieces with some acetone, scrap pla...

I've got an Alpha 130f sailboard (was a little optimistic on its stability and buoyancy for SUP'ing) that is some sort of plastic that Alpha calls Comptec (polypropelene or ASA or ?) 2 Part question: 1) Does anyone know what type of plastic it actually is? 2) Is there a way to solvent or heat weld i...

teabag, depends on the marker, but generally no there isn't alot (12 year old kids have no trouble going nuts with mechanical semi-autos) I'd be down for playing, I haven't been out in a year, but use to play quite a bit (and worked at TNT). Its a group of newer players Victoria Paintball or TNT (my...

Might be worth checking this thread out too

I'd be very careful loctiting fins, it does an unbeleiveable job of dissolving some plastics (learned that one on some motorcycle parts)

Dr Murray (Murray Chiropractic on Chatterton by Quadra & the Highway) is pretty darn good for a lot of issues, though generally its a come in and crack your back or whatever every couple weeks. I don't know if he has any kite-specific knowledge, but he does quite a bit of work with athletes (ie ...

You should see what she could do when she was driving the ring taxi. I got to do few laps of the ring (as a passenger) in a fully race prepped BMW 318ti (with a guy who attends all the open track days at the ring behind the wheel) and got to watch her pass us like we were standing still several times.

thanks! Didn't know a page like that existed. Looks like i have more exploring to do on this site!

I'm just curious where(ish) the kelp reef is relative to IV?

I second OTlunch's opinion, they have clearance old model makos and such that are still new. it really is something you should check out

It'd be worth going in and talking to them, they also have a pile of kites in their clearance room that are a 2+ years old that I believe should be cheap (they hadn't priced them when I was in there)
