So drink plenty of water if kiting for long periods
Trim the centre lines so you riding position is more comfortable and your arms are not outstretched.
Don't ride overpowered, get a smaller kite.
If its a 16M CB2 (maybe 12M too if you are small/short), get a 60cm bar and fit all the Cab stuff to it, observe all the above as well.
But if you have tendonitis, the only cure is rest, sorry!

Umm I'm not exactly an expert but if he has previously injured his elbow or has a demanding job he could quite easily suffer tendonitis without having to do zillions of hours on the water.
Also call me an idiot but wouldn't riding more powered up be less strenous on your arms. You don't have to sheet all the way in and the kite requires a lot less imput.
The pain is more likely to be coming from keeping the bar real close than from having outstretched arms so trimming as you suggested isn't really going to help. He wants to shorten his chicken loop length so less effort is required on pulling the bar in.
My suggestions is rest unfortunately or tune your bar so that you can ride with the bar further out and still have the same power. You will have to use more board skills though.

So your having a go at me for helping someone out. Please if I have said anything wrong correct me. Main reason I posted was because the advice Steve gave was so bad. I never claimed to be a Dr., In fact my first statement said I'm not an expert. Just helping out, doesn't matter if I go to uni, does it?
), in my opinion, and it seems there are others that agree.quote:

Your obsessed Steve, this post isn't even about you. I just gave some helpful advice, at no point did I slag anyone. Your the one obsessed with bickering, asking what kites I ride, trying to make me sound like the bad guy. The only reason you posted because it was about Cabrihna's and everyone on the forum knows it. I'm not even talking about kites, sticking to the topic about the guys injury.
Which you told him to buy a smaller kite
-Wrong because that means you have to sheet in and work it more with your elbows flexed, hence aggravating the problem.
Told him it was about his riding posture
Poo stance is elbows out, his problem is elbows in.
Told him that it was because he was riding overpowered and he should sheet in more
It's because he is riding underpowered with the bar in too far, he should sheet out more.
Obsessed, can't even be reasonable. "Maybe you should take your own advice and Perhaps you could lighten up a little, focus less on me, and re-read what I wrote?"
P.S Kavakiter was thankful for my advice and have furthered talked about it through PM's. Just because you think I pick on all your posts doesn't mean thats all I do, take a break from the keyboard.
