No prob, if you still want me to bring them let me know. Great to hear about the wind...cant wait for some warm weather and wind.

Hi Tom,

I'll be coming down December 30th, PM me if you still need them.

I just bought some Dakine pre-curved mits. I kited in them for 2.5 hrs straight at Columbia on the weekend...they were warm and worked perfect. No forearm issues and I had enough dexterity to adjust the power line on the fly. I got them in Vancouver from http://airtimeboardsports.com/ZenCart/ I ...

Thanks Dave for the indispensable site.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a kiteboarding school in Fortaleza Brazil?

Did you take the north or south side of lake Cowichan?

I'm in with 20...Happy Christmas everyone. Dave thanks again for the site...invaluable.

Sounds like a great idea.....http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/shopv5 ... s&P_ID=719

I would suspect that Chris gets them from Trident, as they are the North American distributor. I'll give him a try though..maybe he has a couple pair collecting dust in the back room.

BWD that's good to know about the sizing....I definitely wouldn't fit the medium, guess I'll need the XL then. I'll put you down for 1 pair of large.

Cheers.

downwind dave, dunkinguy..LOL. Perhaps there could be a Special Edition recycled carbon fiber Lucky can , for that extra special stocking stuffer!!

I talked with Prolimit, they still make the open palm mitten. The distributor is Trident Sports in North Vancouver. They currently only have mediums in stock. I'm going to give them a try. BTW I had to purchase them through North Shore Ski and Board, as Trident doesn't sell to the public.

If you or ...

BTW: This may be a stupid question, but why are carbon booms so pricey? [smilie=knockknock.gif]

Fibersnap is right, it let go about 8'' behind the harness lines, not an area I would expect to fail. Kus I had no blister issues at all with the Chinook, maybe it was a problem with the older ones.

Thanks Johnnyman, and Windoc for your input, I think I'll go for the Chinook again.

1K for a boom ...

Thanks Russian Dude for the input, the Chinook has been good to you too... I might just stick with it.

Do you know if the reduced diameter Chinook is 26 mm, I couldn't find the sizing on the website. It seems most booms are 31-32 mm (1 1/4"). I want to try and find one in the 26mm range.
