I have two kites, one direct connect and one bridal.

Does that make me a BI-Kiter

no, just curious
but if you buy an SUP as well,,start to worry

Oh dear, does is count how big it is?

No,size dosent matter,its how you use it.
Oh wait,were you talking about your SUP?

Looking for like minded kiters, I will try anything once - Inflato Lei, Matress (foil kite), surfboard but bi-directional is my limit.

Hey Rich, I've got a flying lilo, but feel I should warn you that it's bridle system has pulleys too

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!)

All this dirty talk, I think I just blew a valve in my pump

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!
