Downwind faster than the wind

Years ago there was a guy on this forum building a wind driven car that could drive down wind faster than the wind. Is he the same guy that built the car in this video? Seems like he was right.

Mounting slingshot foil on 2018 nobile zen?

Is there any smooth affordable way to mount a slingshot infinity 76 wing to a nobile 2018 board? Or any other wing with the same lift. My nobile wing is not generating the lift i want. I want to surf small waves behind my RIB boat with it, no rope.

Re: Wave surfing swell with kite hydrofoil

I got no clue about what to look for. My searches on Google hasn't been successful in finding info. I'm just guessing I need a bigger wing, as the glide number on mine seems low. I got no idea tho, I've just been trying it twice behind my boat, and am just getting a feel for riding on the foil as fo...

Re: Wave surfing swell with kite hydrofoil

And yeah, I'm thinking of towing in with a boat, and surf it without a kite or anything else towing me.

Wave surfing swell with kite hydrofoil

I've been seeing a lot of kai lenny videos lately, and really want to try surfing ocean swell with a hydrofoil. I have a noble freestyle hydrofoil. I think the wing has a lower "ar" (if that is the right word for foils) than the foils kai lenny is using. Has anyone tried surfing ocean swell with a k...

Old Takoon bar

I was showing a friend how to set up his kite, it is an ca 2007 takoon. The bar had this strange 10 cm plastic tubing with a ball on each end, that the chicken loop rope went through. And this tube went through the bar. Does anyone know this system? Seems strange that the bar only has 10 cm of depow...

Re: Almost kitemare

I usually just grab the cl with one hand, and let go with the other. If the chicken dick isn't stiff enough, you can try to lube it up, and run your hand up and down it for a while.
