About the blog and us

No Gravatar

Hello and welcome,

my name is Kosta.

look_no_wind1

My wife and myself are located in Bremen. All boards are made in my wife’s studio. She is a pretty popular sculpturer. Thanks to her for the support, patience and the electricity.

As far as I can remember I was only riding three times a board that was not build by myself. One was a Door, a very popular design for low wind, a BEST board and a small blue Underground.

But this year I will test others designs and shapes whenever possible.

In this blog I will write about moldinjektion. Companies like AIRBUS and mostly every company that is producing blades for wind power stations is using this.

How to use this technique, why I believe that a kite board is not a snow board, all this you can read here.

As you see, this blog is also available in German language. Keeping it updated in two languages is work.

So be patient if this place is not perfect yet, it might never will be.

Should you have no idea where to start in this blog, I suggest the archiv.

Are you looking to follow the blog without hazel I recommend a feedreader programm.. Windows user will find something  here.  Ubuntu Linux users do a  $ sudo apt-get install liferea. For some days now I use the new Thunderbird 3 to organize my e-mails and feeds. More about this software  you will find here.

You might have realized that the download of files is now limited to registered users only.

Background is that I only see guest in the blog, but never names. This is very sad  Once you have registered you can download all files and post comments.

You will receive your password shortly after registration by @mail. If not check your spam folder or request a new password.

After I have been bombed the last months with all sorts of fake posts and signups, I have installed a captcha to keep bots and  spammers  out of  here.

For comments you need to enter the captcha number in the field

Have a lot of fun here and return often.

If you are looking for something specific, enter the search string above the first banner, for example balsa,  skim board or removing  knots  and the databasa shows you every page that contains this word or combination of this words. That’s cool, I know :-)
