True, they work all the same tho! i know of 5 people using them for kitesurfing with no problems...

Heh, heh. Gud wind is back for us! Fri after driving 6hrs to N/Wales to meet up with friends (thank god we chucked the gear in) we spent Sat frollikin in the surf @ Blackrock Sands, Porthmadog. Still buzzin. Fek'n cold but what a blast.

Still going downwind though in the frothy bits, and got spanked more times than a high court judge. Lotsa big air too and eventually Pol drowned the VII13 again -Pign still nackered.

another thumbs up for Trident, I've got a few bits and pieces from them and they're more friendly than Storrars although not necessarily cheaper. One of the blokes did try and convince me that pro kitesurfers use gardening gloves from b&q though...
