Hi,
Has anyone on this forum tried any of the Alibi kites from the Western Australian guys New kiteboarding. There doesn't seem to be any claims by the normal pimps on this forum. I would have thought more crew would be into the local stuff or isnt it a cool thing to talk about on seabreeze?

Im thinking of getting one of these demo kites advertized. What do you think a 11 or 13m will work in for 85kg 135 Twin tip, small waves, choppy flattish water, 15-23 knots.
Im thinking a 13m? Does someone know better?

Hey Lovely,

I bought a 7m OS but have not had a proper chance to try it, can't wait!

Nate had a offer on that if you paid for the transport, he would lone you the
kite, I don't know if it is still available and I bought the 7m at the same time as the offer became available.

I also wondered why there is not a lot of pimping going on with the NEW kites maybe all the riders are out kiting instead of being online, I don't know.

Cheers
Rich

A 13m ALIBI will suit your needs. Nothing worse than flying a kite too small and underpowered. Small kites tend to stall a lot and eventually give you tendinitis in your arms.

Rich is right on the money. My customers seem to kite a lot more than they talk on forums. Not great for business guys and gals! but I guess my customers are enjoying themselves and in reality they aren't the people actually selling the kites.

Let me know ASAP/today if you would like a demo sent cause we're going wop wop.
Can post them first thing Monday 28/9,tomorrow morning.

Will have the 8m, 11m and 13m ALIBI for all Exmouth Expoditioners to demo over the next couple weeks.
If you see them flying around,(Im told you can spot them from a mile away)
Grab your favorite deck, throw on your harness and come n say hello.

Yeah I can relate to that. Have been using an 11m for a year or so in light and strong wind and doing long sessions with no arm issues. Recently started flying a 9m and loved whipping it around and constantly moving it on light days but developed a severe case of tendonitis on the upper forearm at the wrist end. Is this a common cause of such problems?
