Re: Steezy Pete - Will he do it? (Road to Megaloop)

I just finnished my watch of Road to Megaloop. I love kiteboarding - but mostly I do waveboard and foil - so at first I wasn't interested in video about doing a megaloop. I keep hearing about Steezy Pete at the 365 kitesurf podcast.. Finally I saw the full 8 episodes. (well, a few places I need to ...

Re: LUCA CERUTI joins FLYSURFER!

Wish him the best its really interesting to see all the pros use a foilkite instead of LEI . I think it's getting more popular slowly. After reading this, I assume, or that you have not seen a video, or you mixed the shape of kites. After typing that, I assume that you have not seen a video of Jami...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Compared to foil kites, the inevitable 2.5kg 21m lei kite will turn better, accelerate faster, boost higher, relaunch easier, never collapse and bowtie, never tangle into spaghetti, never fill up with water, be much easier to repair, it will also drift launch, tether launch/land, it will open a can...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Bigger inflatables than 20m will arrive, but only when they can beat race kite foils. Now we have the material, but not the design. Using state of the art material with the same design as always is a disminishing returns strategy. Too expensive to gain very little. We need a rigid air frame with an...

Re: Flysurfer Sonic 4

I just had my first session on the Sonic 4 15m. Not going to go into much now as I am knackered. It is basically a much higher performance version of the Soul 2. Turns so much quicker than my S3 15m, it's so damn stable, quite incredible. Launching was no drama and when static, there is very little ...

Re: Flysurfer Sonic 4

FYI pre inflation is beyond dumb if you are in fact stupid enough to put up any foil kite of any size in 35kts. Do you mind if I ask why? To my understanding, pre-inflation gives the structure shape. So a fully pre-inflated kite might behave largely like an LEI at the edge of the window. Hence like...

Re: Flysurfer Sonic 4

I don't agree with this at all. I've flown most of my Flysurfer foils in extremely overpowered conditions(like my Soul 15m in 35kts) and have never had a bridle line break due to over stress/forces. Your 35 knots is not the same as my 35 knots then :P how so air density mainly, 35 knots here would ...
