Re: Concept Air Smart Wave 6.5 & 4.5 & 3 and now 8.5

Tony, My friend (73kg) on hydrofoil with a large wing (1200 for surfing waves) and waves 4.5 + 8.5 sent me his wind ranges: Wave 4.5: low-end steady 13 knots / High-end steady 25 knots (he can ride at 30 but tacks and jibes can be difficult). Wave 8.5: low-end steady 9/10 up to steady 20 knots (he c...

Re: Concept Air Smart Wave 6.5 & 4.5 & 3

I use 21m but my next bar will be 18m ... although I never tried it with shorter lines. If I am not mistaken, the rider in the vidéo is using 22m but some riders on FZ use the 4.5 with 17 & 20m. Note that in this thread there is some tuning tips with pictures as well: Concept Air Waves 4.5 tuning ti...

Re: Concept Air Smart Wave 6.5 & 4.5 & 3

Here is a nice video of the smart 4.5 in 13-15 knots with an hydofoil in little waves wich gives good indications on how the kite behaves, in particular the capacity to drift and fly with slack lines (which is even better with a surfboard and higher winds): https://youtu.be/UF-3DPomMsY His intended ...

Re: Concept'air 12m Pulsion kite

FYI, I am selling my pulsion 6m for sale in very good conditions. Now that I have a complete quiver of Concept Air Waves, I don't need the pulsion 6m anymore for strapless surfing. http://www.lesfoilz.com/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=2844&t=1 http://www.lesfoilz.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3703

Re: Concept Air Smart Wave 6.5 & 4.5 & 3

Hi Sergio, I have not tested the 3m yet but I am leaving with the truck and the family to Galicia / North Portugal tomorrow for 3 weeks and I hope I will be able to test it (I am not with an hydrofoil so I need 30+ to fly it). It will be nice to drive South to Guincho (that would be a great spot to ...

Re: Concept Air Smart Wave 6.5 & 4.5 & 3

Have you tried it on a foil board? I have not tested the 3m yet and I don't hydrofoil. They are 2 others French riders on hydrofoil with a 4.5 and they are quite enthousiastic about it. Our opinions are very similar after testing >> http://www.lesfoilz.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3498&start=40 I...

I wish one of the big brands will pick up this niche market very soon!
Why would you want that?

Re: Concept Air Smart Wave 6.5 & 4.5

After many back and forth emails, Benoît Tremblay finally decided to design a smart wave 3m and here it is, lying in my garden: http://www.lesfoilz.com/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=4344&t=1 The last tests of the 4.5 in high winds were so successful that I think this 3m will be a no limit kite for str...

Re: Concept Air Smart Wave 6.5 & 4.5

New session today with the 4.5. Wind was from 20 to 30 with some lulls around 17/18 and some gusts 32/33 knots at the weather station. No waves, only an awful very short wind swell. Not really interesting ... sort of bump & jump session. Very sunny and 30°C, a nice windy summer day otherwise. I was ...
