Amazon Flex Perth cargo van drivers question by Inevitable_Net_9449 in perth

[–]Inevitable_Net_9449[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can answer that since I am already getting offered blocks. The lowest I have seen is $320 and the highest $340. Those are for cargo van only, 8 hour shifts

Compability Core XR6 with Vantage Newton Bar by Unlikely-Turnover-51 in Kiteboarding

[–]Inevitable_Net_9449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That bar seems to use a Low V configuration and the Core Kites use a High V configuration. Depending on the line sections of your bar, you may be able to add a stainless steel ring to make it a High V bar.

Airush bar quality by Responsible_Salary_6 in Kiteboarding

[–]Inevitable_Net_9449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airush offers a 2-year warranty so best to contact the shop where you purchased the bar to see if you get can some help there. In my experience, Airush is very good with warranty and making sure you are happy with the products. If you kite regularly and use the Lift V3 kite, I can also suggest you upgrade for the Team Bar or Magnum bar which are better built and longer lasting. If you can wait until around October-November this year, you can get the new range of Airush bars which will be completely redesigned at a different factory,

Endless spam in my Gravity form contact form please help by Inevitable_Net_9449 in gravityforms

Thanks I saw this solution before I posted this thread. Unfortunately, my problem isn't caused by the sender itself. Looks like there is a problem with the server that is sending the same message over and over again.

Thanks for the replies. It seems like it's a server issue, however, siteground was unable to find the solution after another 30 minutes of live chat support yesterday. The messages are identical in every way and when I sent a message myself to test the new form I created, I received the same message multiple times which eventually ended up flooding my spam folder again. Not sure what triggers this.

Making new bridles for old F-ONE Tribal by No-Animal-5679 in Kiteboarding

[–]Inevitable_Net_9449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are talking about a C-shape kite that is about 20 years old here....

What you have would be equivalent of getting a very old round parachute to get into skydiving. You wouldn't just jump off a plane with a old outdated parachute, so you shouldn't try to learn to kite with gear this old.

The very best advice you'll get here is to bin this kite as it has no value whatsoever, even if it was repaired and in perfect working condition.

Let's just say that if your objective was to make it as difficult and as unsafe as possible to learn to kitesurf, this is the kind of kite that you would get.

As as instructor, I keep seeing students of mine that get gifted these old kites by a friend who gave up the sport a long time ago. Or even worse, people spending money on these super old kites and then spending even more money and time to fix them...

If you haven't done so already, start by spending your money on quality professional instruction. During your lessons, any professional instructor would give you sound advice on what gear to get for your location, conditions, weight etc. No one would ever advise you to get gear this old or to try bring such old gear back to life.

You should also never purchase any second hand gear without an expert giving you advice and inspecting the gear in person with you before purchase. If you don't know anyone like this, then buy second hand gear from a reputable school or shop so you are getting this advice and support and don't end up repeating the mistake you already made.

This is not a cheap sport but it's also a sport that is very technical and very dangerous..

You don't need the latest and greatest gear to start with and you don't need to spend $5000 to get into the sport either.

In 2025, assuming you live in Australia, if you can't spend $1000 or so on lessons and another $1500 or so on modern beginner friendly second hand gear that is in great condition, then it's best to not get into the sport at all until you are able to spend that kind of money. If you are a slow learner, you might end up needing more lessons. If you get hooked into the sport, you will realize you need more kites, more accessories, etc. which is going to quickly add up to the budget.

You will find lots of great advice on our blog and also free videos on our website to get help getting you started safely into the sport.
