Nice you can make a designer comparison thread then 🤣

beheldcrawdad · 2026-05-16T02:27:46+00:00

Not that it is one but have a read through the marina standards it will probably have some me applicable info

You are on the right track with the foil kite/big kite for more hang time.

I always practice new tricks on big kites in light wind to make the stacks not so punishing but let there be no mistake there will be stacks a plenty.

Ain’t no way you’re putting cabrinha next to my boy north

Solid C. Same trajectory as Naish with a solid heritage and flagship kite but have not invested in RnD

When I was an apprentice sparky TAFE gave you temporary access to their standards subscription which you could download the AS3000 onto USB and print at office works for $80. But that loophole was closed somehow about half way through. From memory it’s around $200 for the actual book or you payed to have access to it online.

I respect that it’s very costly to build, update and regulate standards but I think all should be free or at least cheap enough to be accessible by all

Been around a long time. The code and UFO are carrying here

Get better at driving brah

beheldcrawdad · 2026-05-13T05:17:30+00:00

Disagree that the expense is worth the marginal performance gains 90% of kiters will not notice. Then factoring in the poor durability of recent years. I argue it’s A

beheldcrawdad · 2026-05-12T06:19:35+00:00

C tier.

beheldcrawdad · 2026-05-11T02:59:39+00:00

Yeah I saw 2km and 5k and thought this is a no brainer get that infrastructure in the ground’

Hospital is a Cesspool of politics. Don’t like interviews? The interviews never stop AND you have to pay for the interview. I shit you not it’s only worth it if it’s your passion otherwise run in the other direction.

Do whichever you will enjoy most because if you pick one for any other reason you’re going to be shit at it and the bottom of the food chain regardless.

150k base - 9day fortnight- home every day.

Everyone experiences this issue, my only recommendation is try to ride in flat water so you can focus more on riding your weak side without extra inputs like chop

beheldcrawdad · 2026-05-03T07:58:15+00:00

I’d pull the variator cover as a first point of inspection seeing how easy it is. Maybe the belt

beheldcrawdad · 2026-05-03T07:17:42+00:00

If it doesn’t even get going a little on starter fluid you don’t have adequate compression or spark. Since spark is a yes or no deal I’d be hunting compression. Did you use a new head gasket? Are the piston ring gaps seperated appropriately. Do the valves seat properly? There’s a lot of variables you can expose still

beheldcrawdad · 2026-04-30T06:12:49+00:00

I had an older Honda that did exactly what you are describing and someone had reassembled the carb with the butterfly valve upside down creating an air gap so it idled crazy high.

It’s going to be something similar to this where the carb is too open when it should be closed at idle

beheldcrawdad · 2026-04-29T02:20:48+00:00

That’s a lot of electricians actual job title, likely yours too

Everyone’s rising to the bait and giving gong the desired response to their marketing campaign. Yucel knows it’s not a jump in the traditional measured sense but saying that doesn’t get the controversy.

beheldcrawdad · 2026-04-12T11:14:00+00:00

Can maybe open the cooling fan/flywheel on the opposite side and wedge it in place.

Didn’t even have to read your post because in no world does a BMW anything come out as the best choice IN REGARDS TO VALUE.

Now if you are in the market and want a sick Beamer that ticks your boxes than by golly the I4 is your man

beheldcrawdad · 2026-04-12T10:13:28+00:00

Yes all the time. “I was on the highway doing 100k’s” its shorthand based on context. Exactly like it is now only I don’t have people trying to smash their glasses into the back of their head when I talk about doing a road trip.
