Re: test E.R.A system from Zeeko in the snow

The ERA doesn't work exactly as the STAR system on wipika airblast, the consequence on the kite is the same, but the way to achieve it is different. the problem with the star system was it changed the feeling in bar and decrease the turning ability of the kites due to a pulley effect, and you needed...

Re: test E.R.A system from Zeeko in the snow

This system is dedicated to relaunch a big kite in light wind and to help super light riders to relaunch any sizes (lighter you are and harder it is to relaunch a kite). Usually, riding in light wind (less than 10-15knots) it appears that the relaunching can be a "fighting with the kite" for any inf...

Re: Twin Tip Hydrofoil

The strapless riding is due to the fact we are trying a lot of different wings, then the location of feet change as a function of the wing. This is why I ride strapless. For contests when I'll validate a wing, maybe I'll restrap (for more control) Additionnaly, strapless is more safe at high speed (...

Re: weight / projected area = onepossible light wind indicator

Zeeko Notus 14m LW: Size: 14m Projected area (from surplan): 9.94, in reality a little more, since the bridling is tuned from the surfplan file (to have a wider arc). Closer than10,2m Weight: 3.4Kg, due to the lightest reinforcement, no one pump and 4 struts m/pA: 0.34 Relaunching ability: 6 knots S...

Re: Light Wind Kite Philosophy

Hi, I don't have the weight in my head (is around 3,6Kg but I need to check). The target was to make a relaunchable kite in light wind, I ride in LW mainly with a foil, and for people you ride with they know what light wind is (I start to ride in lull at 6knots). A deep work was made to reduce weigh...

Re: Light Wind Kite Philosophy

I ride in light winds with Notus E.R.A and a foil board strap less. The Zeeko notus is able to relaunch at 6knots for sure, I was the only one able to relaunch last week end (in deep water). Due to its light weight (same philosophy than the Silver arrow) without the lightest reinforcement, 4 struts,...
