About Xtreme Imports Kapiti
I can now Wing Foil!
I have had a few sessions since I last updated the blog, and can now say I am wing foiling. I am getting good runs out and back and if the conditions are right am getting up on the foil consistently. I am not turning yet, and can feel that will be a challenge and there is Still lots of room for improvement but it feels GREAT!
We have made a few trips up to Foxton Estuary. The reason behind this is the flat water (doesn't get as chopped up as Paraparaumu and Waikanae Beach) and it works in a South Easterly wind. It also works in NW, W and E winds.
The thing to watch at Foxton is the tide. The first day we where there the tide was outgoing with a Southeasterly wind so was wind with tide. This made it difficult to stay up wind. I was blown downwind on my first run, and a little after that but still had a great session.
We have also been there in a NW wind. It was our best session yet as the water was the calmest water we have been in. The wind blows over the dunes to make it cross off.
If you are interested in this amazing sport feel free to ask me anything I may (or may not have learnt along the way).
What did help me greatly was working out the correct Foot position. It took me a while to realise how critical foot position on the board is. Even now if I am having trouble getting going I will look to my feet and see one foot isn't quite in the right place. A small adjustment usually helps a lot. I first started with both my feet along the centre line of the board. This made it very difficult to stop the board from leering toe or heel side. I now realise the front foot needs to be towards the heel side of the board and the rear foot with the heel on the centre line. The rear foot over the foil mast, and the front foot adjusted forward to help you trim the foil as soon as you feel the lift. (this probably seems obvious to most!)
Anyway if you are thinking about it I say do it! It is an amazing sport to learn and enjoy.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sadly, you've missed the point. Yes, we want a refund, but this product needs a recall! You have sold it to us, and presumably to others, without any indication that sunlight seriously affects the product's structural integrity. Then you added the suggestion to the product AFTER we made our complaint like it was always there. That's so shady! You never even provided us an opening to return the product, you told us it was "out of Warranty" and ignored the complaint!
A video of 'willful damage'? Perhaps you are referring to the demonstration we sent of how incredibly easy it was to literally shatter the plastic support arms of the swing set because of less than a years worth of sun? I mean what do you want? A video of my child impaling their face on a shard of plastic? Seriously, did you not watch it and wonder if the force my index finger was able to excerpt turned it to shards, how much more so would a child climbing on it? Further, as previously explained, we discovered this when we merely picked it up to move it! Watch the video again and have another think.
Don't palm us off as some difficult customer, we are parents and genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of our, and others, children. Stand up and take responsibility. Recall the product.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We brought a pool table with combination ping pong top.
Pros = Fast delivery and very easy to put together. All the parts were there too! Huzzah! The pool table is reasonably solid, looks great and we’ve played several games already. Its turned a boring room we never used into the hub of the house.
Cons= Delivery was to our local depot . .. I imagined it was to our door. It’s big and heavy… trailer required! You need 2 people to lift off the ping pong lid when changing games. Pool table doesn’t have a D marked on the felt or a spot where you place the triangle.
Despite this we Highly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
