Det är tyvärr omöjligt, Men vi som inte är ens i närheten av din kapacitet kan nog klara oss ändå. Tror att UDS kanske inte lämpar sig för yttersta eliten men klarar man sig utan handlepass tricken verkar det vara klockrent. Framför allt med tanke på säkerheten. Jag är ju nybörjare så jag ser på systemet ur min synvinkel. Men Huber skall snart få några system så då kan vi ju höra med honom vad han tycker om det.

Att jag inte tänkt på det
Fast jag undrar vad hans mamma tycker om iden? Måste fråga -
Gammal cyklist eller?

Fan måste skaffa någon 17 årig barnvakt som kan ta hand om…. ”Sam alltså” när det blåser!
-
Samma vind som vi haft då

Kan tänka mig att just ombyttandet till våtdräkt är något besvärligare i en så liten bil. Surfbuss typ multivan eller liknande är det som är bäst. Kan dessutom sitta vid bord och stolar och invänta vädret om det behövs. Tror det blir svårt i en Volvo.

Annars är dom som är intresserade av riktig kitesurfing välkommna söderut till skåne. Tycker ni borde sakna kiteingen lite, eller ni kör hellre norrut?
Här är fortfarande hur bra som helst dom dagar det blåser bra. -
Har ni kollat med Slitz dom brukar ha rätt justa brudar på gång
Eller varför inte kolla med Hef direkt -
Verkar vara en stor framgång när det gäller säkerhet och hur man kan depowera en kite. Väldigt nytt så vi får väl se hur bra det egentligen är efter lite tester. Naish motsvarighet till Cabrinhas Recon system. Kolla in filmen på http://www.naishkites.com så klarnar det säkert lite.

Lite mer info om kiteolyckan i Maiami
> I just received the following detailed accident summary from Kent
> Marinkovic, close friend and colleague of Alex Caviglia. Kent interviewed
> several bystanders and kiteboarders at the accident scene in preparing
this
> summary.
>
>
> ”On Tuesday, November 12, 2003 at approximately 3:30 pm, Alex Caviglia the
> President of Adventure Sports was injured in a serious kiteboarding
> accident. The incident occurred at Matheson Hammock Park in a suburb of
> Miami. Matheson Hammock is one of the most popular locations for
> kiteboarding in Miami. The conditions at the time of the incident were
> ranging between 21-34 MPH and gusty. The wind was from the NNE and
directly
> onshore. The incident occurred within seconds after the launch of his
kite.
> The launch area is confined and approximately 35 meters in length and 2
to-5
> meters in width (from the water to the parking lot). Due to the onshore
> conditions and the narrow width of the launch site, Alex was limited to
> being only 4 to 5 feet from the shore (knee deep in water) prior to his
> launch. His kite was also either over the land or just 2-3 feet off the
> shoreline. An experienced kiteboarder assisted in the launching of Alex’s
> kite and had released the kite after Alex had signaled him to do so. The
> launch was clean and free from fouls or twists. Alex proceeded to raise
the
> kite to approximately the 3:00 position (about 12 to18 feet above the
water
> and very low). Just after the launch, the gusty conditions caused the kite
> to drift slightly back (down wind and over the shoreline), approximately 8
> to10 feet from its original position which was far forward and out of the
> power zone. The kite quickly and sharply accelerated, causing Alex to
lurch
> forward, out of control. Given the extremely narrow span of the launch

the

neither

that

> Fortunately, two of the witnesses on the beach (one a kiter) were fire
> fighters and certified paramedics. The first assistance by one of the

> services within seconds and directly request that the Trauma center launch
a

Trauma

Så ja nu funkade det! Blir bara bättre och bättre filmerna keep it up!
Något att göra när vindarna bråkar med oss. -
Alldeles för mycket, men jag fick ett bra pris och fin service Av Michel på Kiteshoppen Det skall ligga på 2035:- komplett med bom, men kring tusenlappen kanske lite mer, för uppgradering paketet utan bom. Jag hade ju redan en Naish bom, men kunde inte vänta så jag tog ett med bom. Får invänta vind bara. Huber på Mega Max skall få in ett par snart så är du sugen så jaga Huber egentligen skulle dom inte släppas förräns i Mars i Sverige, så det gäller nog att hugga så fort man får chansen, men men först får vi ju se om det verkligen är så bra som alla säger, Alla tester jag sett tyder dock på det. Vinden var är du!

MATHESON HAMMOCK
Kitesurfer is injured in windy conditionsThe head of an extreme-sports gear distributor was seriously injured after he tried to launch his kiteboard from Matheson Hammock park Tuesday afternoon.
Alex Caviglia, head of Miami-based Adventure Sports, was standing on the shore of the South Miami-Dade park when a gust of wind snagged his parachute-like kite, slamming him onto the pavement of a nearby parking lot.
”It was like a slingshot,” said Alvaro Ordoñez, a Coral Gables dentist who had just arrived at the park for an afternoon of kitesurfing — a sport that allows thrill-seekers to jump across waves on a board while harnessed to an inflatable kite.
Caviglia first landed on his side on the sand before the kite pulled him spinning into the air again, said Ordoñez, who watched as Caviglia’s head hit the corner of a concrete parking triangle.
”Then he went up again and landed on the asphalt underneath his BMW,” said Ordoñez. ”It happened very fast.”
Caviglia, a 47-year-old father of two who lives in Pinecrest, was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center and underwent surgery. His condition was not known late Tuesday.
High winds in the area could have played a part in Caviglia’s crash landing. According to the National Weather Servicewinds in the area reached 30 miles per hour, with occasional gusts reaching 40 miles per hour.
Caviglia may have underestimated the windy conditions, said Kent Marinkovic, a national sales manager for Adventure Sports. He said Caviglia was an avid windsurfer and kitesurfer.
As a safety precaution, kitesurfers sometimes ”walk” their kites out into the water to avoid being catapulted toward land, said Marinkovic. Caviglia was lifting from the shoreline, according to witnesses.
