Local Knowledge
What are the locals riding? What works around here?
I’m always testing new gear and never sell anything to customers of Adventure Bicycle & Kiteboarding L.L.C. that I haven’t PERSONALLY tried. Here is the latest gear I’ve been using:
9m Nobile NHP 5 line kite
12m Nobile 555 4 line kite
7, 9, & 13m Freak Dog EZE (pronounced e-z) kites
132 X 41 Nobile 666 board with Cabrinha Sync footstraps
154 X 42 Spleene Door light wind board
164 Twisted snowboard with Flow bindings
As you can guess, I’m a bow kite guy. The Nobile NHP so far has been the best gust munching machine I’ve tried in a traditional, C - Kite shape.
Around here, with the gusty, front driven winds, they work for me. Pewaukee lake is our only real west wind riding spot and as it is small, it often is very gusty. The bows work for me in the gusts. And of course, that is what I took lessons on, so that is what I stuck with.
