Using a kite without depower is like driving a car always in third gear. If you set the kite, for example, for 15 knots and always go at the same speed and course in an unreal world, well, that's fine... but with depower, you not only control the power but also the height of the bar... Moreover, few...

What is the minimum line length to fly a Peak? I'd like to try it with a skate Carver. If I remember correctly, I read in this thread that someone broke part of the kite by using lines that were too short...

This month in Sotavento, Fuerteventura, a windsurfer and a kitesurfer have disappeared... it's not for nothing, but lately there have been cardiac problems or fainting spells in all sports. If this happens to you in the sea, without a life jacket and with offshore winds, consider yourself drowned. I...

Finally, they will end up closing the entire "hybrid" kite. LOL

I got in a really good session with my 8m Peak 5 yesterday. Can anyone compare the low end power of the 9.5m Hybrid to the 8m Peak 5? During my session, there were a few lulls that got me worried, but the kite stayed dry. Not sure I would have been able to relaunch the 8m Peak if I dropped it. It s...

Can someone give me feedback on front wings with great glide? … I loved the 800 wing for kitefoil when it got released few summers ago. My friend fell in love kitefoiling on it last summer and winged on it few weeks ago just fine. 130 lbs rider though I tried 1000 wing for kitefoil and it was super...

Can someone give me feedback on front wings with great glide? To begin with, I'm not intimidated by size. I've tried the W1100 with a kite and it works perfectly fine. It's supposed to be slow and massive, but I didn't find it clumsy at all. I could easily make turns and maneuvers without any issues...

I suppose that by changing to a higher profile you gain on the bottom but you also lose on the top, maybe that's why you report that the peak4 13m loses on the top compared to the hypster. Two days ago I started riding at 4/5 knots with my Peak4 13m , apart from measuring with the anemometer I knew ...

I trimmed the profile very deep (AA1..AA4+2cm,B+5cm, C+2cm). I shorted the backlines ~20cm and I use 24m lines in V configuration.

Is there any tutorial on how to do this? I don't have any experience in trimming foil kites.
Thank you.
