Re: Kite Foil for Beginner

I started 3-4 years ago back in small wing days. I wouldn't buy any of those foils. All dead end or soon to die systems. I would get either a moses 633/483 with 91 cm mast or a Gong Pro with 90 cm mast. ( M if under 85 kg, L if over 85 kg). Both of those systems have enough wings to change to if yo...

Re: Kite Foil for Beginner

Naish Thrust Surf Foil is very good for learning and kiting in general (if you are into cruising, carving). I have the size L and a 127 Hover board and learned on it last year (my weight is 73 kg) It starts to lift a really low speeds, stays up there in transitions easily and I found the overall sp...

I need to buy a wet suit and can't decide what th...
