I have only used a bandit years ago, but I have a 10 &12m '19 Pivots and have used them for boosting, waves & hydrofoiling. Hydrofoiling is great, good enough drift and easy to nail gybing - for me the Pivot is the perfect one-kite for everything. If you are on a budget, the Park (not Park HD) is al...

Lol... still have a Naish Flash Mutant !

Nothing wrong with Pro models, as they can offer something distinctive.... i.e. the Flash is the only Mutant I have ever seen with channels on the nose.

^ not for a 50yo with broken ankle and the rest of injuries... lol...I'l raise you with a snapped achilles! Isn't that "secret prototype" just a Naish X10 ? ....still have one !! Alluula, Graphene, etc, early adopters will no doubt pay large sums to have the latest technically advanced kit & look f...

V nice thread, I agree with the above comments I would say that up to 12m (as indicated by WOO - so that's 7m in the real world :wink: ), there's no need to heliloop, but it is worthwhile practicing them, as when done well, the landings are really nice and controlled.... but for the "oh Sh1t" jumps,...

For me, I hated bridles on foil kites. The whole thing about setting up was a complete nightmare and as mentioned, stony beaches and twigs were also problematic. I switched out my Chrono for a similar sized alpha and I’m far happier Setup is one of the best things about a foil kite! Let me guess yo...

I severed my Achilles in March '18 (snowboarding) & started kiting in August that year. It was painful doing boosts, wave-riding & particularly hydrofoiling to start off with, but now its no worse than my other ankle (that had multiple fractures to tib & fib still with plates & bolts - kiting injury...

Nice one Sam - hope to see you on the beach soon.

End of July was windy... I used an 8m for almost x2 weeks straight in various stages of powered to v powered up. Going again & will take smaller kites.. One eye was incredible - stayed @ St Regis which is next to the point & v nice, but not cheap!
