Oh dear, does is count how big it is?
Looking for like minded kiters, I will try anything once - Inflato Lei, Matress (foil kite), surfboard but bi-directional is my limit. 
PS, must have own paddle.
lol
D3,
*&%%*, you too hardcore for me!
My SUP is 33" Wide, is it length or width that counts?
(Straddling my SUP nearly ripped me a new hole!)
seriously most people who brag about having direct kites and "C" kites are full of it.
youri zoon has 4 pulleys on his bridled kites and does it hold him back any?! im not seeing it.
there is a place for bridles and direct kites, ride what you like and dont try to be "E" tough because you do or dont have pulleys.
Just to bump this thread a bit, I have a put 2 sets of the sliders on my kites to replace the rings.
Will get back seeing how they affect wear after a few while.
(if you have epic rings on your kites 'SaveTheWhales' I highly suggest getting rid of them)
photo showing them directly compared, going to estimate the surface area for the slider is a great deal higher, guestimating around 5x more =]
PS. postage is cheap if you buy more kites, not a good circle to be in!
