URIs to Ping

The following services will automatically be pinged/notified when you publish normal or future timestamped posts. Not when you edit previously published posts, as WordPress does by default.

This plugin also fixes an issue with the default extended ping programming in Wordpress and pre-2.1 versions of Smart Update Pinger (it now includes the url of the new post).

NB: this list is synchronized with the original update services list.

Separate multiple service URIs with line breaks:

Ping log

These are the last 100 actions performed by the plugin. In reverse chronological order for easier reading (latest ping first).

Posted by kite2012 On May - 10 - 2012

These girls might not be the most skilled kitesurfers, but very nice to watch! In fact I like this little video better than all the cool guys showing off their crazy unhooked freestyle trick.
The video is apperantly a promo for sensibikinis.com and aimed for girls, but I suppose many guys will find this promo worth watching as well :)

Kitesurfing Crashes

Posted by kite2012 On May - 9 - 2012

What’s more entertaining than watching massive wipeouts? As they say, malice is the only true joy, as long as someone doesn’t get hurt of course. Anyway, here is a compilation of kiteboarding crashes. Remember to be careful out there!

The crash at 0:15 reminds you that kiteboarding can be dangerous… kitesurfing near sharp stones is never a good idea!

No major crashes, but good music!

Turn off the sound before you watch this one…

The famous top hat scene plus some instructions on how to perform kiteloops in a safe way, just in case you don’t wanna end up yourself in one of these kitesurfing crashes compilations :)

Launch and land in a safe area and in a safe way is something you learn during your kite course. I wonder if this guy ever took a kite lesson…

1:34 – the dude seems to be quite pissed off for some reason. If you’re a kiteboarder it really helps if you get along with other people. I´d say kiteboarding is as much of a team sport as fotball or hockey.

Dr. Tuba – kite repair kit

Posted by kite2012 On May - 7 - 2012

Many of us have probably heard of Dr. Tuba (www.drtuba.eu), the site you visit when you had a major blow out on your bladder. Dr. Tuba for sell great kite repairing stuff, such as patches in different sizes, glue, dacron, flying lines etc. Dr. Tuba has a new promo video for the complete (ultimate) repair kit.

Looks good, doesn’t it!? The only problem I find with Dr. Tuba is the price… This complete repair kit cost 69,90€. You might as well by a whole new bladder for this price. And is Dr. Tuba the only place where you can by kite repair stuff? No, you can by adhesives, kite lines, glue etc. at many different places to a much better price. For instance Thermoplastic Polyurethane Film (adhesive patches) can be bought at www.3m.com and www.polyprod.com. In fact the patches from Dr. Tuba is made by 3m. Kite lines can be bought in your local sail shop or online on several sites, such as www.alibaba.com. Polyurethane (PU) glues can also be bought everywhere. Www.excelglue.com is just a example.
Another option to buying kite repair stuff from shops is to simply use the kite forums. Post a thread and let people know that your´re looking for some patches, kite lines or whatever you need. You´re more likely get bunch of replies from people that gladly will give away their excess for free. I recently talked with a kite school that threw away hundreds of meters with kite lines since it was just laying there collecting dust.

Conclusion

Dr. Tuba have the stuff you need to repair your kite, but the one that is on a limited budget or the one that simply doesn’t want to pay exorbitant amounts for things that in fact can be purchased considerably cheaper have lots of better alternatives.

Kitesurfing in Sri Lanka

Posted by kite2012 On May - 3 - 2012

The people in Sri Lanka seems to have amazingly good conditions for kitesurfing! Kitesurfinglanka.com is a kiteschool on the north west coast of Sri Lanka, on the peninsula of Puttalam. Here you´ll find more than a dozen spots with flat water and not over crowded with surfers, a paradise both for beginners and more advanced riders. The wind blows at an average of 18-20 knots – 24/7 during May to October. Sounds pretty good to me, huh?
