Oh man a loaded question, who can predict the wind? Though it's getting much better all the time, the wind is still a fickle thing and can change right up to the time you get there. Thankfully BWD has compiled almost all of the tools necessary right here on the website to predict when and where to ...

Hey everyone, Here's a tip to locate very small leaks in wing/kite bladders. I've recently had to repair 4 very tiny tiny pinholes in my wing strut bladder. Let me tell you finding them was a bugger! I first noticed my wing strut would get soft after an hour or longer, not catastrophically soft ...

Loving the daily reports and musings.
A strong temperature gradient combined with presence/absence of coastal fog are what really makes it blow strong (or not so strong). There are ways to forecast fog too, but the easiest is to look in the morning at the Visible and Fog imagery available on BWD ...

After my dumpvalve leak and long schlog back in tough conditions I'm bumping this timeless topic to the top of our conscience!
It's that time of year to start preparing for FALL / WINTER SAILING and all the GREAT HATE :twisted: that goes with it!
Think safe, do a quick pre-flight assessment of ...

Hey Slake et al, I ordered them from kitesource.ca (Jeff in Calgary). I don't think they show up on the website as they were new and he just special ordered them for me. ....

Hey Slake et al, I ordered them from kitesource.ca (Jeff in Calgary). I don't think they show up on the website as they were new and he just special ordered them for me. Just talked with him and he's shipping in a day or 2 (was waiting for an Axis Skinny 365/55 tail to arrive too before shipping ...

I am about to receive these Ion glove/mitts , which may potentially be the solution I've been looking for. They have a super thin 1mm glove inside the 2.5mm overmitt with opening. Will report on them once tested. The search for the mythical windsport winter glove continues.

BTW i just tested ...

You should let the Coast Guard know as it may initiate a search for missing person/board owner. They also frequently get called by someone who finds it, so they can relay on your information to finder to get it back! I know happened to me once.
