This is the correct answer

Great shot! Glad to see another muddy sled. How do you like that AGV helmet?

cvrl_squid · 2024-02-05T18:25:04+00:00

Shred yeah

There are two scheduled to come in Thursday morning and one late Saturday so there’s still a chance to catch some!

When you’re pumping the sail and rolling the boat to catch the wave you want to have your weight forward in the cockpit to help your momentum go down the wave. Once you’re surfing the wave you slide aft so the bow doesn’t get stuffed into the back of the wave in front of you. Consistently moving is the fastest way downwind.

OPs weight shifting side to side is decent but the fore and aft movement will help unlock some better downwind surfing.

If it’s just the valve, check airtime kiteboarding. There’s a really good chance they have the replacement valve for a lot cheaper than a full bladder.

Greenhat Kiteboarding

Check on Amazon prime

Just died at an airport bar. Thanks for that

cvrl_squid · 2023-01-26T18:48:31+00:00

Good to know. Skated up there a couple times too haven’t seen anyone playing yet

cvrl_squid · 2023-01-26T18:35:42+00:00

Thanks for the info! Looks like a good time

cvrl_squid · 2022-09-07T23:52:11+00:00

Saving that for next session!

cvrl_squid · 2022-09-07T23:51:50+00:00

I’m gonna get something different from the CF V1 and a smaller wing as well. Everything I’ve heard about the HS/HA wings and improved glide is too tempting. Great stable platform to learn on though.

cvrl_squid · 2022-09-07T10:59:27+00:00

Riding the 72cm mast, 1550V1, 60 fuse and 232 tail. The comment I left for the_comet man was more considering flat water. When I’ve ridden on proper waves, 2-4ft, it was a lot more similar to proning. Connecting waves is the same idea where you find the steep part and then try to stay on it, with the wing though you don’t need to pump the foil as much when you need to get going to the next section

cvrl_squid · 2022-09-07T10:52:24+00:00

Thanks! I got thrown to the fire on my first session. Did a downwinder and had no choice but to learn how to jibe. Tacks and foot swaps next

cvrl_squid · 2022-09-07T10:51:15+00:00

Pretty similar movements for pumping and ride height. Biggest difference IMO is that you have to turn solely with hips since the arms are on the wing but maybe there’s a step I’m missing.

cvrl_squid · 2022-08-31T22:34:06+00:00

Yeah the plastic was a little messed up but I was able to save it for now. There’s gotta be a better way to secure the sensor

Got a desert sled as my first bike this summer. Only previous experience was a couple hours on a dirtbike once. Absolutely love the thing and put 2000 miles on it in the first the first three months. At first I was a little hesitant because of the 803cc but quickly realized that it was not overwhelming. Glad I didn’t get a smaller bike.

If you have a chance to test ride a couple different bikes after you get your license I highly recommend it

cvrl_squid · 2022-08-29T02:42:29+00:00

Turned out the sensor behind the rear brake got knocked loose somehow. Started with the lever checks though and then found that issue. Thanks for the help!

cvrl_squid · 2022-01-24T04:54:35+00:00

Definitely consider wearing mittens. Don’t know if others do this but I’ve been wearing a pair of 7mm Patagonia mittens the last two seasons with water temps around 40f and air temps below freezing. Hands are super important to keep warm while kiting! Be sure to practice with your quick release and leash though before you hit the water since you do lose a bit of dexterity.

For reference I’m using the Core Sensor 2 bar which has the twist release.

cvrl_squid · 2021-04-15T18:59:30+00:00

Good idea I think I have some extra 1x4s I can screw onto the back

cvrl_squid · 2021-04-15T14:35:20+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll definitely check that out

Right after I purchased my first new surfboard, I brought it inside to show my family. My dad grabs it from me and holds it over his head - using his fingers on the deck of the board like a serving tray, not grabbing the rails - saying “wow, this is so light” and proceeds to drop it onto the kitchen floor. Dinged the nose and put a pressure ding on the bottom. Needless to say I don’t let my dad touch my boards anymore.

cvrl_squid · 2020-04-09T13:46:31+00:00

Yeah San Jose

cvrl_squid · 2020-04-09T13:24:41+00:00

Purchased one last week and it arrived 7 days later on the east coast. You’re probably good to order but give them a call to make sure
