I bought a Frog (https://www.kong.it/en/2-products/items ... frog-cable). It's really nice concept though expensive for a carabiner clip. It doesn't release under tension, so will not work as a quick release.
Thanks geron, I would be really interesting to hear more about Race Star+ kites. I have NS4 kite from born and it's really nice. I also have Peak 4 8m2. I have been wondering how Stars will perform vs Peaks as I'm contemplating to buy a smaller single skin.
I have a Peak 4 8m kite. I'm 200 lbs / 90 kg and a novice on skis. I have now had about ten starts. I think it's a great snow kite at least for a novice. It's a really safe kite, collapses instantly when it hits the ground. Also, if you grab either steering lines high enough the kite flags instantly...
Pansh seems to be a mixed bag - in more than one way. I thought Pansh before I bought the Peak. From my point of view the problem is that they might need some tinkering. This is something I have to learn but not sure this is the best time (is it ever?). On the other hand I'm sure Pansh offers a lot ...
I would like to start hydrofoiling in the summer - preferable with the same kite. I realized now that more experience with foil kites would be useful before buying one. Use your peak 4 8m to learn to hydrofoil, at your weight you'll want about 9-18 knots of wind for that kite. Don't take it in more...
If you're learning to hydrofoil, the best way to short circuit some of the learning process is to learn to foil behind a boat or jetski. That way you can focus on learning foiling skills and not worry about the kite. The same applies to learning to foil on a SUP or prone surf foil. With a good boat...
Thanks Nate for confirming that the Pelican would be a good choice - and all the help. You have really nice videos and reviews! It's a shame that small companies struggle to get traction even with great products. I think I need to get the kite from a local distributor. The task is somewhat easier if...
I'm certainly a "grown up", it's downhill from here . I'm dedicated but on the other hand I have almost zero experience on any board (snow, land or water). I will get the setup you suggested, let's see.
If you are only about to start hydrofoiling, i recommend a kite that is as easy to use as possible, meaning a stable LEI that drifts well. I clearly recommend to NOT learn hydrofoiling in light winds but to learn in moderate winds where you could also use a TT. You will need to fully focus on the b...
