Dumber Question: North Focus Screw Holes

Does anyone know if the North Brand Focus has the same screw holes as most other twin tips in the market?
I want to use fins from another board as well as bindings on that North board. Will it work? Or does north have special measurements for the screw holes to make it proprietary?

Re: Moto vs Switchblade vs Drifter

Like 175 lbs. I will prolly want to use it for free ride and boost, as much as it’s more of a surf/ foil kite. May use it on light foil days where 10 drifter won’t do it.

Moto vs Switchblade vs Drifter

Lots of comparison videos on YouTube, but, would it be fair to say that a 14 moto high end range is the same as a 12 Switchblade? Or can you expect a bit more juice from the moto with a 2 square metre bigger kite. Not sure if the 3 struts and non pulley bridle design negates the larger kite surface ...

2020 Drifter bladder issue?

Seems like a bunch of stores are selling the 2020 drifter but advertised as 2020 drifter with new 2022 bladders. Some are pre installed, others come with the new bladders. Just wondering, what was the issue with 2020 Cabrinha bladders? I bought one with the additional set of bladders included hoping...

Re: 2017 Pivot 8m Backstall

All great suggestions. I have tried the trim in all different positions and still get the back stall. I will add some pig tails to the back lines and see what happens.

2017 Pivot 8m Backstall

Having an issue with my 2017 8m Pivot back stalling.
Never had this issue with my 12m Pivot 2017.
Have tried both a naish bar and a canrinha bar that were properly tuned. Had this issue in both 30+ knots and 15 knots (with a foil).

Any suggestions for a fix?

Lift Foils v1

Have a Lift Foil 2014 v1 I is a 150. Picked up this wing / stabilizer / fuselage / mast combo used but realizing it is too small for me (for my riding style). Somehow guessing the front wing is about 700cm2. Just wondering is this fuselage compatible with any other brand than lift? Really just need ...

Cabrinha Bar Leads 2019 Replacement

So I have a 2019 cabby bar that is adjustable. I believe it’s 52-60 Trimlite. The issue is the lead in the plastic tube was damaged a bit in a kite mare. I want to keep using it but am pretty sure it needs new leads. I know cabrinha doesn’t tell you how to fix this bar but can it be fixed? Pls see p...

Re: Problem Naish Octopus Help

Obviously best done with fingers if possible but I have heard hose removal pliers recommended but no actual experience. Anybody know if a soak in snoop, dishwash/water, would help? Removal is not the issue. After I put the bladder back on I was wondering about the c clips. Anyway I don’t think it’s...
