I'm on Hornby Island and I use it almost daily to check what the wind will be like for slope soaring and kite buggying. I'd hate to lose this excellent resource.

swapping front and back lines

My front lines are way more stretched out than the back lines. Is it ok to switch them? Are all the lines the same strength in OR line sets? I can't tune the bar correctly to equalize the front and back lines anymore. Thanks.

Lesson in Maui = TOTAL CRAP!

This is so true. I got seriously ripped off when I took a lesson at Kite Beach a few years ago. It was cool to be taught by Felix Pivec (now pro), but the instruction and school setup was crap. A giant money making scheme! Never take lessons from the Kiteboarding ...

Hi everyone,
