Do I need to update my gear?
Hi all,
Seems like I’ll be getting back into some kiting. I have been away from it for a few years and have pretty old stuff. So, I am more or less wondering if what I have will be fine or is there is gear I really should get, due to design advancements.
I have :
9.0 Naish Ar3.5
8.4 (11m) Wipi AirBlast 2002
15.5 Naish Ar5
Bar is called a re-ride system (I think) with the safety leash attached to one of the centre lines. The loop has a Naish emergency release that they were selling a few years back. (you grab it at yank it away from you)I don’t really want to get new kite although the 15.5 does have quite a bit of bar pressure but I’ll just have to put up with that.
My ability is not that great. I have kited on and off for a couple of seasons, competently cruising back and forth with carving transitions but stopped just before I was about to start jumping.
So, what’s your evaluation, will this gear get me by safely this summer?
Cheers, Petter (PS swedish is fine).
