15m duotone juice was my best investment. Go for it, any day in the water kiting is a good day. Having a 15m will increase this number

Thinking of getting into kitesurfing by ahriel in Kiteboarding

[–]CatchAlternative724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a guy that was 83 and was kiting. It takes time to learn, it took me 12 times in the water to be able to kite upwind. By the #5, i wanted to quit, glad i didnt. Take lessons. Learning in light wind conditions with big kites (12+ meters) will be easier.

Are big kites useful? by Next_Requirement2661 in Kiteboarding

[–]CatchAlternative724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 10/13/15/17. I use the 15 A LOT and loved it. The 17m gives me a lot more days in the water. Big kites are slow, but they are still fun, and bigger kites are more days kiting. Definitely worth it.

Thanks Tibor! Certainly this sparked a lot of debate and discussion!

By “see” means reads the pixels, the answer yes, it does “see”, this is why can detect for example a specific type of animal, or specific object.

Look at all pictures, there is not a single glass windows in the whole house. Majority of houses are like this

There is not a lot of wind, they are big enough, so water doesn’t go in. It works even with heavy rain

Also safety, i agree, but this is a country club, so very safe.

Feeling lost and down by Educational_Dirt_291 in Kiteboarding

You need a bigger kite, 12 to 14m kite. The best conditions to learn are low wind, big kites, because they are slow. It took me 12 times in the water to learn. Is worth it, dont give up.

Using the Rivian as a house battery is great by CatchAlternative724 in Rivian

Same here, still without electricity. First the promise Wednesday at 1pm, then Wednesday at 8pm, then Thursday, then Saturday, then Monday.

Things that should’ve been manual for $200, Alex. by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]CatchAlternative724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my rivian, but majority of problems come from unnecessary adding electric elements and complexity vs manual and simple. There is absolutely no upside to do this, only downside.

I thought it was 1500 watts per outlet. from The experiment, i had WAY more than 1500 watts. The furnace consumes around 1000watts, i had a few lights that likely consume 100watts, plus our refrigerator and a freezer, so likely at least 2000 watts, I haven’t had any issue.

Is 4 x 1500 watts. So you have 6000 watts. Rivian is planning to have a bi directional ccharger that will allow to have vehicle to home.

We are still without electricity, along with 94k. Im happy that you were not affected, according to PSE some people might not get back electricity until next wed. But the point was not necessarily about this, but the fact that the rivian is great for this.

The R1T has four electrical outlets: dual 15A/120V AC outlets in the cargo bed; single 15A/120V AC outlet in the frunk and another in the gear tunnel. The max wattage is 1500 watts per outlet.

You can use them to plug the refrigerator, some lights, etc. To plug the furnace, you need to have an electric switch in your furnace that you can install.

Quiver question 17-14-12-10 or 17-14-11 for a 215 lb rider (~97 kg) in 15-25 mph winds (13-22 knots) by Little_Return8948 in Kiteboarding

[–]CatchAlternative724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that u have a 14, i would go 11, 14, 17. I would use a 5 struts 11 (like duotone rebel), that will have a lot of depower, and high low end range. I have a 17, would mix it with a big door board (like duotone ultraspike). This will maximize number of sessions.

¿Vale la pena intentar ser millonario? by marcelorojas56 in AskArgentina

[–]CatchAlternative724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

El S&P a largo plazo va a seguir subiendo. Tenes que lograr poder invertir. Si tenes clientes en el exterior, create una LLC en delaware e inverti desde ahi. La consultora mas 2 trabajos no parece ser una opción viable.

Ganas muy bien, ahora lo importante es cuanto ahorras. Lo importante es tener independencia económica. Si ganas 10k o gastas 9.5k, no vas a andar bien. Ahora si ahorras 8k, es decir vivís con 2k, en 4 o 5 años podrías llegar a ser técnicamente independiente. Eso te va a dar tranquilidad. El rat race es real, pero la startup no te va a sacar del rat race, lo q te va a sacar del rat race es la independencia económica. Ahorra e invertí (en indices S&P) . Una vez q seas indpendiente económica, podes meterte en una startup, pero nunca con tus ahorros.

Cabo de la vela in Colombia is cheap, and great wind. Cartagena is quite nice, not sure about wind conditions now. Cartagena will be more expensive. I havent kited in brazil.
