I feel what youre saying. I think anything thats addictive makes you loose a part of yourself . While I would consider kiting a good addiction I think its only natural to pull back after a few years. Kiting can be very hard on the body and after a while its what does a lot of people in . I myself ha...

While a good foil kite can probally fly in 4 knts I think u need about 6knts to kitesurf and stay upwind and probally 5 knts on a hydrofoil. this can be measured in onshore or slight sideshore wind with an accurate windmeter and zero obstructions upwind . Lei need about 8 knts . Any claims lower are...

I would have to agree that there is not a huge difference in foils compared to lei of the same size nowadays . You may get 2 m up max and this will probally be noticeable only in the lower or top midrange. at the middle range it can be close because of the fact that the equivalent lei would be faste...

Sometimes lines shrink or stretch I had a similar problem that even when pulled the release line was causing one of the center lines to be a little shorter than the other . measure the new lines to make sure thyre all equal then u can add a pigtail to the release line or replace it.

all foil kites will stay in the air in 6 kntts no problem.

In 7 knots it is perfect, although on the heavy side so you have to be able to keep it flying all the time.

Will it have problems staying in the air in 7 knots in your opinion?

Come on lets face it this guy eain is not a kitesufer just a guy that tried this sport never got it and now hates all kitesurfers. :o no level headed kiter would write a letter like this. Eain u still can become a kitesurfer bud but u gotta loose the hate. Dump the windsurfer gear get a trainer and ...

Come on men were talking about a pansh . 😂There is no standardized line plan just put some string on there and fly the thing . Thats how its done at their factory anyways . Ure reading too much into the pansh its a bargain alternative to a real kite garbage hype . Pansh Aurora II 8 Meter Line Plans ...

Dude ure ranting about nonsense , just take the kite out on a decent wind day and fly it 4 knts is NO wind in kiting . Im sure they dont make a manual for every single kite in the lineup so while 4 knts is not suitable for a 4m kite u can actaully fly may be an 8m or 10m open cell in that wind. :ide...

I dont think any closed cell foil kite will fly in 4 knts. especially a 4m kite. I think your post instead of showing a problem with HQ kites show your inexperience. Most closed cell kites will begin to fly and be stable in about 6 knts and that would be in a bigger size. A 4m will probally need abo...

Slowmo footage you be the judge. I just dont see a valid reason for release.
