Hi all, Been having issues with my new 9m. So i checked my nose length as per North Web site. My meassurements seem to line up with the specs for the 10m and not the 9m. Was wondering if anyone has experienced the same? I am a measuring this correctly?

I measure 130 on Y connection points to the kite and 114 from the base of the Y to the connection point to the 5th line.

hi gilligan
are you sure its your nose your measuring?
Also i find that I always measure a little less when the water temp drops below 16 degrees.
Anyway just coz your measurements line up with the 10m there no need to go bragging about it here.
be carefull before you know it tony will be knocking at you door asking to see your pink kite.

Did you remove the line completely from the kite thn measure?
Try that if you didnt

If you di, go to your local friendly North shop.,,, i guess they would be able to help.

oookay! Aaron I don't know what you are talking about, but I can understand as it was a big weekend on the water. Also you left your pram behind on Saturday night. Your child is hungry
hsojmars, your bang out of order! Nice work getting us revd up for the downwinder, then you and your hoby mates pulling out.

As for the topic it looks like they fitted the 10m line to my 9m as I got hold of a 10m and it measures the same. Now I must hunt down QC#546361739
Was wondering if anyone experienced the same?

C'mon guys, leave poor gilbo alone. after all he can play with his line whenever he wants cause it's his! espescially when he gets out of the water and he needs to increase the length.

Was that Gilbo and Rainbow Kiter together on Friday?

Speed camera huh? What platform will you be using, what language? Let's hope that you don't have the same spec problems with your hard drive as you've had with your kite. Hope you can estimate the size of the database better than you can measure your lines.

Hi Gilbo, My 9m vegas feels strange to fly, lufts during gusts, and doesn't seem to sit properly. I've checked the line lengths, whilst still attached. Was that the problem that you had? and have you been able to fix it?

Hey Gilbo, it's a shame that all these fools can't take your post seriously! Not one person actually helped you out. Maybe I can treat your post with a little bit of respect and not contempt. I re-read your post and noticed that you actually spoke of 2 important issues. Nose length, and specs. I think that if your nose length is correct you should not have a problem with your specs. If you do then just add a simple string (or cord) to the spec arms and tie it off at the rear of your head. It is also a good idea to add a cord loop and put it over your head just in case the SPECS are too large for your NOSE LENGTH. Hope this helped you out.

I think this is the bigest waste of space on this whole site, Sure you all think your funny and good on you guys (someone has to) but why bring all of australia into your little games.

Why bother typing it all out when I'm pretty sure you can probably just roll over during the night and laugh and tell each other how hot you look in you 5/4 wetsuits while you all give each other back rubs.
