Just a thought...
Wouldn't it 'work' if you like a very slow ride and pick a kite several sizes smaller than you normally would?

What is the point if you have to ride with the handbrake on?

Time and effort in the bar? ... They claimed they tested the bar for 3 years, but somehow these lines, and the fraying inside the bar itself just slipped past the QC this entire time? Same for the original V-split btw. The original V-split wear issue was a difference between manufacturing methods f...

In the picture a third from the left on the heel edge there is a big deformation in shape. Same toeside a third from the right. Those deformations are very draggy in water. To deform the heelside trailing edge downward by applying more left trailing foot heel pressure than front foot pressure would...

Masts are one of the cheapest parts of the foil. I don't know anyone who's had lessons. I know plenty of foilers though. No, they are the most expensive part of a carbon foil. Only if aluminum foils, they are cheap, so depends what new foilers get, which can be both, quite evenly distributed here. ...

I’m wondering how they measure it with satellites ? How else would they monitor waves?

Can they measure it accurately by satellite?
Usually wave data is collected by specialised buoys/weather buoys.
