Will we see the first foil kite at King of the Air 2019?

Oh get over yourselves!

Maybe they should divide it with four line c kites, then four line bridled kites, or the people wearing boots have their own comp

It’s a kite, deal with it, pretty sure all the entrants won’t give a shit what gear people ride it’s only the forum warriors who are up in arms that someone might compete on one

[grigorib]

So just like the girls should also try harder to participate and rock and not have “queen of the air”. I’m pretty sure “having balls to boost” is only figure of speech and I’ve seen girls who must have “balls of steel” the way they ride

There are about 3 girls who submitted a video this time...1 did an upload error, the video is not showing.

But I think it is very cool that they go for it

Big respect

Dam... that's impressive jumping from Olly Bridge , that kite looks fantastic.

BE interesting to see if Ollie bridge can nail the timing involved on a foil in those Cape Town conditions. Foils are more technical to jump and timing is important.

Back in 2009 with Psycho4... Enough air for KOTA?

But I'm not saying foil kite is an advantage in high winds and for kiteloops it certainly isn't. If Olly Bridge will be in KOTA 2019 with a Soul it is interesting to see differences. I hope he will be there

King of the trust funders.

Kiteboarding has become an embarra$ment, $3000 kites and showing off your made up jump heights through your $300 gadgets. Absolutely rediculous.

Red Bull uses its gross drink to corrupt young minds . Drink tap water.

All that fluoride though -- aren't you worried?

What's minimum wage in NZ now? $3,000 would be about 15 minutes work now wouldn't it?

Yes tap water is much better choice then redbull buy some shungite it will get rid of the chemicals in your water there is much more then fluoride...

He is a great rider...be sure he will nail it

[longwhitecloud]

Shungite.. interesting stuff.

unfortunately not on the list of non flouride water supply.

Red Bull has more sugar in it than coke, i see the uk put extra tax on red bull because the government thinks it is so unhealthy for its people. Red Bull5hit is absolute junk, its ok to use your influence to encourage drinking it if you can be bribed though.

[james]

No, ALL high sugar content drinks have had extra tax placed on them

It’s not a Redbull tax

Also like many places in the world there is an age restriction on energy drinks so that kids dont drink them
