Re: Moses 2019-2020

Does anyone know anything about the Moses T35 board that is highlighted in the 2020 catalog? https://moseshydrofoil.com/storage/downloads/moses_2020_brochure_rev01.pdf I'm curious if it is replacing the T22 which I did not see in the catalog. I hope to be getting a 633 setup in the next few months ...

Re: Firewire Vader/Vanguard convertion to Foil board

Probably really not worth to do that with great board. No, it's completely worth it to do that to the board. I'm not much of a do-it-yourself person when it comes to board building, so I had a board builder put a Tuttle box and reinforcement into my new Vader for me (Rob Mulder at Roberts Sailboard...

Re: LiP water shades?

I've got a pair of their Typhoon model in the "Up" fit (Asian/Small face). I really like the fit, how secure they are, and think that the Zeiss lenses provide amazing optical clarity. But yes, having paid full price, I agree that they are on the pricier side of things. €300 tho :o I'm not sure where...

Re: Firewire Vader

Hey K-Roy, I used to have a Vanguard and currently ride a Vader - they're both great boards. While I agree with the first part of magic Ed's statement (Vader is better in chop - yes, because it has more rocker), I'm not sure that I would come to the same conclusion about going with that board. Becau...

Re: Standard category name for Firewire Vanguard-style board

Had a Vanguard and have a Vader now - both awesome boards. With respect to the original question in the post, FCS calls them "Performance Hull" for their 3DxFit Dayrunner line of bags. I kind of like the simplicity of that naming convention/description: "Performance Hull Fit: designed to fit perform...

Re: Ride Engine Harness

Now the question will be...did people who've ridden the harness find the chart was accurate for them? If you want to ride the harness with a wetsuit/drysuit should you size up or is that all taken into account already by adjustment. ? I've got one of the original Ride Engine custom harnesses and al...

Re: Kite Racing Events in 2015

Hey bacon, Here is where Nitinat/Nitinaht Lake is: https://www.google.ca/maps/dir//48.8049783,-124.6773992/@48.8062997,-124.676498,16z It is not that simple to get to. From Vancouver, Canada you need to take a 1.5 hour ferry, drive about 1 hour on a paved road, and then drive about 1 hour on a dirt ...

Re: 2015 Naish Skater

I've ridden both the Vanguard and the Skater. I own a 5'0" Vanguard and demo'ed a 5'2" Skater for about 45 minutes in Hood River (i.e. not in proper waves so can't really comment on how it would perform in those conditions). The Skater seems to ride a lot bigger (i.e. floatier) than the Vanguard for...

Firewire Vanguard vs SS T-Rex vs LF Messenger

There are a few different threads comparing one to another, so I thought that I'd consolidate to one place. Thread about the Vanguard. Thread about the T-Rex. Thread about the Messenger (?) Has anyone ridden all three (or at least, two of them)? I own a Vanguard (love it, but have also snapped it......
