Re: How to choose my first Wing? Size? Brand? 2022 Cabrinha 02 Mantis Windowless Wing is good?

I just started this year - super fun! I have a 4 and 5 fone strike. Great wings - very popular. The duo tone unit are is popular and people seem to love it. I tried the cabrinha mantis - very powerful good handles but more fatiguing in the arms than the fone strike which I didn’t like. Cheaper and i...

Re: Naish pivot 10m

My 12 is S25 or 1 year year before. If you have the 8, the 9 will be too close. So the 10 is good. I don't know how it compares to the 11.
The bar pressure is definitely lower than the 12. I also put the lines at the outermost attachment on the kite to increase speed lower bar pressure.

Re: Naish pivot 10m

I have an 8,10,12 . I use them for strapless surfboard and twintip. I like the 10m especially for twintip jumping.
It’s fast enough for me. The 12 does have more bar pressure but is fun on a twintip.

Re: First surfboard

I would get FireWire EVo or a Naish skater shape.
The Evo is amazing ! strapless which is easier to do foot switches - no straps in the way.

Cabrinha modular bar

Looking for a new bar to use with rope slider. Any issues with the cabrinha modular bar? Is it more prone to accidental release?

I have been using the quick loop version for many years and have been very happy with it.

Re: Naish Torque 2 + i3 Bar Chicken Loop Weak Bungee

Need a new bar for pivots. Debating whether to go the torque or stick with cabrinha bars which I really like and had no issues.

Re: Is Isla Blanca (near Cancun) any good for Hydrofoil?

I do not but have kited many times the ocean side of the lagoon ( stayed in a hotel on the strip across from the lagoon - playa mujeres) . The water there is deep enough. The wind is great. I think it’s the best wind in the riviera.
It can both north and south winds.

Re: kite size advice

If you are on a twintip the 8 will be good til 30 mph gusting upper thirties but will be ideal at average 25 mph- 30mph.

I live in a string wind area and have a 10-8 and it’s perfect.

Re: Pivot S25 - 9m

Since you already have the 7m pivot, 9m will be great addition. Good boosting kite + fun on a surfboard.

Re: Naish 2021

I ended up getting 2020 on sale. The shop did say that the bridle made slight differences in the smaller sizes. I upgraded a 12 so seemed less important.
