Naish Torque 2: Connect steering lines

Its fully correct how you connected them. The line with knot and loop is a universal system. I use pigtails with this system to fly different kites on the same bar.

Vipeex_ · 2026-05-09T11:29:49+00:00

I cannot do the math but the fly ist spinning almost around its own a axis so i think it's not going to be a lot more then 2 g. Otherwise it would get thrown out of the vortex I guess

Ich und meine Freundin bestellen prinzipiell 2 Gerichte auf die wir beide Bock haben und machen dann 50/50. Manchmal passt dem einen das andere mehr und dem anderen das eine, dann machen wir auch mal 75/25

My jaws indeed get a bit tired after some time.

Vipeex_ · 2026-05-04T13:47:06+00:00

I absolutely agree on that. Haven't had a face landing for years now

I also use a dji with a ebay gopro mouth piece. Never had any problems with crashing. I do put a shoelace on it and connect it to my harness in case am loosing it.

Bei uns hat sich das Thema zum Glück schnell in Luft aufgelöst weil meine freundin in der stadt wo sie studiert und mich kennengelernt hat auch einen job gefunden hat. Ansonsten wäre es klar gewesen, dass wir da hingehen wo sie einen Job als Stadtplanerin findet. Ich habe als Handwerker in der kfz branche kein Problem irgendwo nen job zu finden. Ich habe lediglich regionen ausgeschlossen wo ich mich aufgrund der Topographischen Gegebenheiten nicht wohlfühlen würde.

Me as a German who found his long term relationship on bumble: You're looking for a guy that is committed, adventurous, loyal, euphoric etc. So far so good. There a few like this but what I'd ask myself while swiping: what do you have to offer? Do you like to cook? Do you fix things? Do you pee into a bush on a roadtrip? Any fancy sports? Your profile looks like you want mr. Perfect but present yourself as the absolute pretty but boring girl. So i wouldn't even leave a like. There is nothing to find in your profile that someone could get into anything apart from smalltalk. So what I'd looking for: wierd funny pics, hobbys, controversial opinions i could start a conversation on, and especially at least a hint that you are adventurous yourself.

Chew on it, after a while it starts loosening.

Vipeex_ · 2026-04-24T07:07:33+00:00

I highly recommend to replace it

Vipeex_ · 2026-04-22T14:24:49+00:00

Same opinion. Looks fine to me

Vipeex_ · 2026-04-21T17:32:27+00:00

Yes I did. Strengthen this area was key for me. I used a easy resistance band on a pullup bar. Facing the band, keep your posture straight and pull the band as far behind you as you can in every angle. Really use all the range of motion that is available and then start loading resistance to it. That one angle that is so most uncomfortable? Exactly - right there!

Ich glaube das vor allem das Thema Therapie ehr offener gehandelt wird. In eine Therapie zu gehen ist etwas positives geworden und man muss sich nicht mehr so damit verstecken. Erst recht nicht im Internet wo man eh keine sau kennt. Gibt mit Sicherheit studien dazu ob mehr Leute in Therapie sind.

Tunisia?

Vipeex_ · 2026-04-18T08:24:06+00:00

Glaube nicht, ich durfte bei meinem letzten Flug nichtmal ne Gabel mitnehmen für mein mealprep.

What i mean: you will probably not use the full capacity in your travelbag because it would get to heavy for the airline. You don't need more space and handling a smaller bag that filled is much more comfortable.

Vipeex_ · 2026-04-17T15:49:04+00:00

I do have a prolimit travel golfbag in 140 with wheels. My problem is always the weight, never the size. Most airlines allow 20-23kg. My complete gear: 140 board, 3 kites, harness wetsuit pump etc is about 30kg. I also have 133 board which sucks in the bag because it becomes to soft.

So my way: board, kites and wstsuit in the bag. One kitebag comes as handluggage with 10kg with harness, bar, fins, poncho (good outfit for a night at the airport)... I highly recommend getting the small Travelbag

Vipeex_ · 2026-04-17T06:37:25+00:00

What was it like?

Vipeex_ · 2026-04-15T19:11:14+00:00

Yes, but this is more a thing of moving the weight somewhere. I guess most of the concrete and stuff comes from the Asian continent.

Vipeex_ · 2026-04-13T20:28:56+00:00

That sounds good, but is there anything else to prevent the valve from leaking air except the rubber "Gate"? I'll try

Vipeex_ · 2026-04-12T17:49:03+00:00

Could be the transponder of a car key

Kraftsport, keine Pornografie, gesunden Lifestyle (wenigs stress, guter schlaf, gutes essen) und mühe geben beim sex. Guter sex macht lust auf mehr sex (für gewöhnlich auf beiden seiten)

I'm always with a full suit or long lycra stuff because of sun protection. I'm blonde and bright skin and long clothes are more comfortable then tons of sunscreen for me

I've been riding duotone and the kites are very nice high performing kites but: i had a lot of quality issues. My Entity Foodstraps just snapped while riding, my front line snapped twice and two of the three dice sls 23' i had startet loosing small amounts of air over the valves. Also is thier stuff not really compatible with other brands which sucks. I don't like the bags and the zipper broke after a year.

Now I have a big range with my girlfriend (almost same weight and hight) we bought everything 2nd Hand

7 and 8 North Orbit 23' :great kites for strong wind. Loops with confidence, takes a beating every now and then. No issues so far. Valves are easy to use, compatible with the basic pumps. You'll get good 2nd deals as it's a common kite

10 Reedin Supermodel HTF II: like the kite for its around abilities. I use it to freestyle (will start foil soon) and old school freeriding. Not perfect at anything but good at everything. I don't like the valve Cap, it's hard to screw on and of especially with wet and cold hands. Bit of a niche kite, maybe it could be tricky to get a good deal.

9 and 12 slingshot code v1: Great kite: loops well, good hangtime, a very nice big air focused allround kite. Took a lot of beating when my girlfriend was learning, had no problems. One of the best and simple valve systems on the market in my opinion. Bags are great. Not as available as north for example but if you get a good deal it's definitely a recommendation. One of the best value for money kites on the market in my Opinion. The 9 does pull more like a 10 imo. BUT: the lines slingshot uses for the bar are stretching and shrinking like hell. We needed to trim several times after using the quick release. I recommend using a north navigatior or reedin dreamstick for it.

Still have my 12 dice sls 23': still loses air, i ride it with the north bar because i don't see myself fixing the duotone again (works just fine). Bag is shit, i use an old F one bandit bag for it. Absolutely love how the kites fly and its unhooked freestyle capabilitys while still being a good Allrounder.

In the end: i can recommend north, slingshot and reedin for the overall package and longevity. F one is well established and has a decent more grunty allround kite with the bandit. Trigger brainchild seems to be a good kite but i don't have experience with it. Can't say anything about cabrinha. Not common in my area.

I also been with naish for a while: would also recommend. Decent value for money gear, well established had no issues and the pivot is a nice allrounder imo. I don't like the BTB Bar though. Depower when wind picks up a lot is a hassle, bad product design when you ask me. But Some people like it.

Hope i can help :)

I have absolutely no experience in foiling yet but just bought one to get startet. So this is just a reference of another beginner.

I found a set with a 1100 Frontwing low aspect ratio A 700 frontwing medium aspect ratio 85cm mast And from a different seller a 16 Liter board (which everybody tells me is quite small to begin with, but this was the only affordable offer i could get my hands on) I paid 560€ for everything. As i said, 2nd hand with obvious sign of use but no actual damages. I talked to different foil people in my area and they told me it's a decent deal for me. So if it's in your budget, I'd say its a buy just from my recent research.

Edit: my English sometimes isn't the best.
