...All this fancy race stuff like aerogel structure filled with helium, cnc´d titanium air inlets and under water pressed carbon shells is not very helpful. 90% of us are just freeriders with different needs. For example I´m still waiting for the board shorts made of 100% Aluula, would pay 320 bucks...

My new mini pre-inflation blower. Some stuff taken from a wrecked micro race drone (RIP), Arduino Nano clone for generating the PWM signal for the RC motor controller and 3D printed housing. Full pre-inflation of my 8m FS Soul 2 takes about 25 seconds; 500mAh 3S Li-Po battery lasts 15-20 "shots" the...

... Maybe they make Soul 3 even more direct, it wouldn’t be the worst. Kitech Frs also turns quicker and has nicer depower than Soul with just a little bit less upwind angle. Especially for foiling in normal wind, the kitech is better imo. ... ...that´s exactly what I´m hoping for, at least in the ...

I´m also using it for opening knots, for example in leader lines. It has a rounded tip and doesn´t destroy the line.
Very helpful tool.

In the meantime I had some really nice sessions with my Sonic 4 - 10m ...and some really shitty ones as well :D Changing from Soul to Sonic 4 is for me just a bit like when I have changed from tubekites to foilkites years ago. At first, a session was either fantastic or totally bad, not very often i...

For some weird reasons I still like the Cabrinha Fusion DA foil ( '22 Double Agent remake). The foil is quite lightweight with 1.4kg, but the 70cm (wingfoil/universal-) mast + baseplate is horribly heavy with 2.4kg. Does somebody know the weight of the 2022 carbon mast 70cm and/or 80cm? The ones sti...

Hi, I´m using the Ortlieb duffle RS with 85 l and 110 l: https://ortliebusa.com/product/duffle-rs/ The 85 l will work but it´s quite tight for 32" split length. I need to pack the board(s) on top with other stuff underneeth because of the angled wheelplate at the bottom. Weight 2.65kg . Would only r...

How do u suggest checking it? Pulling the dyneema out of the plastic? How to get it back in? I have taken some pictures of disassembly/reassembly of my two Flysurfer Infinity XX bars. They are also using Duotone parts. Both do still look okay after somewhere above 100 hours of combined saltwater an...

@ Micha, have you played around with the setting of the Z-line? The "hydrofoil" setting should bring the bar force down and should tame the Sonic too in gusty conditions. The first super gusty lake hydrofoil sessions (lets say 6-25kn conditions :o ) scared me too on the 11qm Sonic3 :wink: coming fr...
