Re: my foil board is angled up while foiling,,,i'm new at this

I've read all the responses and no one as mentioned the mast/wing angle. Some boards have tail rocker so when the mast is mounted it angles back the foil assembly causing the board to ride " Nose up ". Try shimming the back of your plate mount so your mast angles more forward. If you have a tuttle m...

Re: Duotone ClickBar Size

There's no one simple answer, it depends on you and what the conditions are. Shorter lines will make the kite feel faster in turning and more responsive, but some people may not like that. Longer lines will give you a more powerful dive for starting in light winds, but will be harder for multiple up...

Re: where to set the Y on a Neo

Just so everyone understands the difference between a "V" and a "Y".......they're not the same.

Re: Single strut kite comparison

The New Duotone Mono is much different than last years and much better....... But when talking about "one strut or No strut " kites, you have to remember it's all a compromise. Kites with a good top-end do so at the expense of a bottom end. Single strut kites are meant to be good low wind kites, the...

In the beginning of Foil-boarding there was a huge misconception that if you used straps they should be adjusted very loosely for your foot. That couldn't be more wrong.......because that's how your foot can get jammed tight when you fall therefore twisting your ankle or worse. Your foot straps shou...

Re: Duotone Evo 2019 vs Evo 2018

If the wind is so light that you need a 14m kite.........you should try the New 2019 Mono. Much improved over the older versions. Will not back stall in very light wind, turns well and has a great dose of low end power. I'm coming from 2018 Neos, which I still love in powered conditions, but when it...

Re: About real small pocket boards < 1 m, benefits and limits

If you have noticeable more trouble turning a 130cm board than a 90cm board...........you need to spend more time in the GYM
