I also think, we don't have to wait to long before foils will be pulled by drones...

Drowning can go completely unnoticed in front of people very close to the victims. For us, who spent a lot of time in or near the water, we must have a sharp eye detecting potential life threatening situations. In Icarai lagoon, two teenagers drowned about 10 feet from shore, where family and friend...

I tethered self launch as well quiet often... For sure not all types of CL works well when you try to assemble it with one hand. When I started to use the slider rope system, I practiced to reassemble the CL, until I could do it blind folded. I tethered launch in winds I can hold the kite above the ...

Which size do you use? The R14.10? Tomas its the 20 X 14 mm Roy I am not seeing any rings that measure "20 X 14" on the below link. Maybe I am missing something? https://www.ronstan.com/marine/range.asp?RnID=428 [/quote] I think you are looking at a low friction ring from a different brand... In te...

Problem with 30+ winds is it takes practice for it to be fun. If you live in a place where it goes 30+ every week then it's no problem getting used to the wind. If you live in a place where it blows 30+ once a year you never get a chance to get used to this wind speed. You can spend all day working...

A surprising amount of experienced dudes don't kite over 30 knots. 30-40 is my favourite wind speed!! you certainly know your alive 30+ knots. I have to agree! Only a few weeks ago I had one of the best SB sessions in Prassonisi in 30-40 knots and over head glassy waves... for me: 7-30 knots Foil 1...

Ever since I learned to kite I memorized having Red on the left (where the heart is) Of coarse in the beginning it has oblivious reasons, but now years later I still find my self in situations where I only have a split second to know which side to grab, so it has to be almost instinctive. (situation...

Hi, I had RE Elite V1 for about 4 years and loved it, until one day it broke my lower rib during a hard crash. I understand the new versions have softer padding around the sides. I now prefer, if the harness goes around my lower rib cages instead digging in to it, when pulled hard. Try to look into ...

What others said before me... My home spot (Taiba) is challenging to say the least to get past the shore break. For this reason I ride a pocket board so it's less surface for the wave to push it back. I hold the foil under my arm, body drag and duck dive. (initiate with my head) when opportunity com...
