Not that any 2006 kites are still in commision but if you got them remember to replace the stock bridle with the $20 best upgrade or make your own. The brildes snap where the front line pulleys run. I was looking for wear and tear on the lines - mine had none - but sadly the core snapped after a 3hr session the other day.

One minute you are a golden god ripping down the line - the next you are dead in the water drifting toward a pod of 30 surfers. Not much love there - though I didn't manage to hog tie anyone.

Crazy Gman.....

where were you at? Glad to hear you came out alright..., was it your 12? Were those surfers agro?

I don't think Blake's or Jackie's have been upgraded yet. Good thing she never uses the 12m.....! Wink

still down in jupiter, FL - the surfers seemed chill maybe because I was on a strapless surfyboard - though I never really made eye contact was expecting to have to go spider monkey - just slinked on through

cold front comes in friday (last day of wind forecasted ) - got to work but will try for a dawn patrol

cheers

oh yeah it was my 12m and I hardly use it

thanks for posting this...as i'm still trying to milk more life out of my 06's!

I found some mod instructions here if you don't want to by the 20 deal.
