Re: Flysurfer Sonic 4

Gestalt,

What foil setup are you using?

I am surprised that you are having backstall issues with the 12. If you are not expert at tuning the kite, I would ask an expert to look at it. A lot of foil kites are unfortunately not tuned properly coming from the factory.

Re: Want to break the Woo World Record, go snowkiting

. Do you think also speed riding and mini wing pilots jump high when they have skis on their feet, bomb downhill and take off? And what does those heights of your "jumps" mean? Did you really travel upwards from the take off spot that much? Problem is not at all if some people jump high on (flat) s...

Re: Want to break the Woo World Record, go snowkiting

fernmanus wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 10:59 pm An easy solution would be to add snowkiting and landkiting under board type on Woo instead of squirreling it away in a separate portal. They already do that for winging and hydrofoil. Seems to me that would be a good way to handle instead of deleting real...

Sorry, your used gear is worth nada

Have you tried selling your used gear lately, notice that there is little to no interest? 2023 gear (other than Aluula kites) are being blown out at ridiculously low prices, so your 2020 kite that you might have got $400 for a year ago, you might be lucky to sell for $100 today. And even with the sa...

Re: Help me jump higher Evo DLAB 10m

Hi everyone, Thank you for the responses. I pumped up the 10m Evo because I was overpowered on the 11m Chrono. It should have been enough wind to rip me off the water. I was getting launched by the Chrono. The wind was quite a bit higher when I was flying the Evo. I will try the techniques you gave ...

Re: Want to break the Woo World Record, go snowkiting

Perhaps, it is not possible, but I would rather hear that from an engineer at Woo. Kitexpert, you don’t know what a glide is and you have no idea that it is easy to jump over 10m on the snow. Yet you give your opinion. Okay, you are lacking in knowledge when it comes to snow kiting. The best kiting ...

It would be cool if Woo had a separate Portal for snowkiting. Especially, if the Woo recorded glides.

Re: Ozone Vortex Ultra-X

Yes, I too am curious what kitexpert defines as mediocrely high. Just because you have tried every kite, doesn’t mean that you have a good handle on the possibilities. Sure, in super steady wind, a big kite is not going to take you very high. However, in gusty and/or thermal conditions, I think you ...
