8 kites... 1 of them works

had my line snap on one of my kites mid jump thw other day at EB. kite powerlooped dragging me towards tthe beach... fun fun fun but scary and rams home the point of making sure your gear is in working order. most of the kitesurfing fatalities are caused by either the weather or equipment failure... not pilot error... well unless you call kiting in a thunderstorm or with defective gear an error... which i do... its a big mistake imo. anyway i have 3 main boards... 2 of them work... so in short most of my gear doesnt work... no surprises there. so in short heres the damage stats.... 7: need to test new bar n lines 7b: torn sail 9: snapped bridle 10:traling edge torn 11: deflate valve detached 11b: middle strut burst 17.5: leading edge bladder burst 21.5: WORKING :) haha my biggest kite is working and its quite windy today. hey wtf? this aint a kiting site...this is DA HAPPS. yep da KITING happs :p Cummon you dont wanna read about all my ramblings on about meaninless drivel allth...
