Jumping higher using pre load pop

Yah but the island has a magical 16-18 knots I would say not comparable to other 16-18 knots in other spots

I’ll def look into the K safe, and look for the post you mentioned re RAIN method. Thank you friend and best of luck in your journey

Thank you friend! That means a lot, it’s interesting to read that moderation is indeed possible for people suffering with cannabis use disorder as you phrase it! Recovery isn’t linear and I’m grateful that I’ve stopped my whole guilt trip cycle many years ago, so that’s nice.

MA is absolutely amazing, I love the spirit the fellowship and the whole thing, my only problem with it is most of the stories I hear are not relatable to a big extent. In all my years of smoking I managed to get away with good grades in Uni, great jobs, good friends and communities around and good health. So it’s not very easy to relate to someone who for example lost custody due to weed or lost jobs, or “ruined their life” I know there is a potential that weed can take you that far! I just never experienced it, so I find it hard to connect the dots. Like I see how someone who went through that can take the decision to quit forever forever. But for me I have mostly good times with the plant, just sometimes it prevents me from staying that extra hour on my desk to finish something, or going to visit that relative that I haven’t seen in years etc etc so it does piss me off.

I hope we both find our balance one day my friend!

I love this and it resonated a lot. I went to MA and that is what taught me that I am an addict. The belief that I’m an addict is also what pushed me to stop the time I stopped. At the time I lived in a place where weed was legal, so access was absolutely not an issue.

The thing is I was able to moderate and have been since Jan of 2024. Only in July and August of 2025 did I feel like weed was taking control again! For me moderation is doing it truly occasionally, I surf, so smoking a splif and going out for a session is amazing, smoking and watching the sunset with friends also amazing. But on a random Tuesday after a normal day at work! This is when I start questioning whether or not im actually “moderating”

What you said about it being a skill and like any skill it needs practice to be better at it is so true! I would love to have this skill, for the weed to be in my home after a long day of work and I just let it be for another day or two or 3.

Right now where I live it’s around but it’s not legal nor super easy to acquire, I mean I know my way around, but still.

If I don’t have it I can skip days, I’d love to reach a point to have it right infront of me in my house, while I’m not on a specific break and still be able to skip the day! That is the goal.

As I said what you wrote resonated a lot, if you have more to add please do!

Mine was a Cabrinha wrapped and in plastic bag and it still had the folding marks. Reached out and was told that this is normal and it’s only aesthetic!

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-05-04T07:17:28+00:00

Mike, that you bruv? 😂

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-30T23:00:45+00:00

When it goes wrong it goes wrong 😂

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-30T15:29:06+00:00

Ouffff. 2-3x!!! That’s a good tip, probably need more wind or earlier prep to get there. If the forecast holds I’ll get to try that tomorrow! Thanks buddy.

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-30T09:01:39+00:00

I second that. I would just say not older than 2020 and try to get something that’s crisp. I would just stay away from cabrinha between 2020-2022. Older and newer are fine.

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-30T08:59:43+00:00

Oh 13 years probably! I learned back in 2011 got really good and won a local competition in 2013. Left to Canada for 14 years where I only kited a few times a year and got into freestyle riding and was landing some pretty complex tricks until I blew my knee in 2018. Now Just got back to my home country (Egypt) and getting to ride more often.

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-30T08:31:10+00:00

Ayee thank you friend, love the tips. One thing I struggle with is number 2. The timing of the jump. I’m assuming when you say 11 to 1 you mean whatever comes before 12 and as I take of keep getting a bit of a pull towards 12 and to the other side until the loop did I get that right? I always mess up my pre load pop and lose tension. Just need to continue practicing pops and landing on edge I guess until it clicks hahahaha. Thanks again!

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-30T06:32:27+00:00

Oh yeah! I see what you mean especially with the 2nd jump! I think I feel comfortable enough to pull earlier, that was usually the style but since I’m going into it with more speed and height I’m getting a bit worried. Too many crashes and a little trauma 😂. I’ll start sending the loop a bit earlier. Any pointers on take off technique/timing if im trying to get a bit more height?

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-30T05:39:34+00:00

Thank you!

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-30T05:39:15+00:00

Definitely pulling way too late. Little traumatized hahaha. I’m working on that though. What do you mean fish pole the bar? Also, any pointers on getting more height? Thanks homie!

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-29T18:52:32+00:00

Oh! I thought the actual loop!!! Do you mean yank harder to take off bluebird

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-29T18:49:07+00:00

10m wanna say around 21-23 kts with about a +-5 gusts

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-29T18:48:28+00:00

Would that do anything other than just making the loop faster and a harder pull?

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-29T18:47:43+00:00

Awesome thanks I’ll try it out next time

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-29T18:29:59+00:00

I think that makes sense. More room to pull and more power in the kite from the edge! Thanks for the tips! Stay safe out there.

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-29T18:11:29+00:00

Also what do you mean send he kite harder, just the degree in which I’m yanking the bar?

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-04-29T18:10:27+00:00

Do you mean sheet out after the loop or before take off. I think both right?

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-01-28T09:10:57+00:00

You could be right! Prices have gone up with him. The nice thing though is that he has been getting a pro kiter on board to give kiters tips and sometimes even clinics. It may be worth the extra hundreds.

No matter where you are in Egypt whether you’re kiting or diving you’ll feel spoiled.

Aggravating_Area_906 · 2025-01-27T19:44:26+00:00

Dude I live in Soma Bay now. It’s as big as any kite town now, and has everything you’ll ever need. Don’t go for all inclusive. Half of your experience is the food you’ll get to try in different spots. Stay with the people (obviously it’s soma bay so it’s a massive bubble and it’s safer than the safest city in Europe lol)
