Madagascar

Hey, So I'm looking into a trip to Madagascar in late April/May, probably 5/6 weeks, thinking predominantly in the north, sakalava and emerald sea. Want to do a bit of travel as well and have a few questions. Is there much of a scene there? Many kiters out? Hoping for a nice mix between lots of spac...

Re: Snowkiting progression/gear question

Thanks for the input guys, so I'm just going to take my 9.5 and see how it goes. I'm not even sure how much time I will have for snow kiting anyway, so probably best I don't invest a ton of cash straight away.

Re: searching for spots in peru-equador-colombia

Lago Calima is apparently windy almost the entire year, I was there a few weeks back in November for 11 days and I could sail every day, most days a 9.5 was great, tended to be overpowered more than underpowered. In Ecuador there is a spot called Santa Marianita which is pretty good, lighter winds t...

Re: Snowkiting progression/gear question

Ahh, you make some good points. I was definitely wondering about fiddling around with a pump and valves in -15. I was already pretty set on getting a kahoona 11.5 for next summer, so maybe I could get that early and take that. Though the foils do sound better for snow kiting, I'm not entirely sure h...

Re: Snowkiting progression/gear question

Oh perfect! Well, that makes life a lot cheaper then!

I have read a bit about valves freezing etc, any truth to that?

Do you think a 9.5 will have a decent range in powder? Anything you do differently set-up wise?

Snowkiting progression/gear question

Hi, First post on here, just looking at getting into snowkiting this winter, I'm already a decent-ish kiter (go upwind/jump consistently, getting towards backrolls), and an expert skier. I figure I shouldn't take too long to work out how to snow kite, so should I go straight for a full on snow kite?...
