Really, does this thread need to go to 10 surely 8 is MORE than enough for what has been said here.
I haven't flown a Rebel for years but I hate the colours. I think this makes them fly badly. With lime green on a kite they never get enough high or low end.
You can fix this issue though by wearing boardshorts over your wetsuit then discussing this on a forum.
BWS forum page sizing applies
6 really feels 8 ,8 really feels like 10 .......
just doing my bit
I just called EPPO an " eletist cocksucker" by his own post??? Ha only dogs can do that...
I got flamed by eppo because I drop my kite -
Well I did it again the other day - and it got rolled inverted and completly did a horizontal rotation
If i was on a 5th line I would have had a nice bow tie or my kite ripped in half and a swim in
but on my noise it relaunched after copping 3 waves - the rear line had one twist around the front lines but it launched and flew fine which allowed me to finish the downwinder
So can someone tell how the 5th line is better in the surf
I think they put 5 th line on there as they cant get the kite to fly properly on 4
Flame on North lovers!!!!
( this should take us to 10 )
i took out my inner trailing edge battens, well because they broke, anyway i recon the kite flew better. more pivoty and drifty
9m reb, low end gusty, strapped sb
, so again your point is totally valid.
I rode a fuel with a 5th line for years. Everyone would tell me how is was dangerous because if a wave would take my kite the 5th would rip it in 2.
My kite spent more time underwater than in the air, yet I never tore it in 2.
I wouldn't worry about a 5th line tearing your kite. I reckon it is just urban myth!
