Depends where you're going and what the winds like. Going back home for two months (not this year :() I've been taking 12m and 10m Switchblade, TT and foil board, 2 bars, pump, two harnesses (seat and waist), wetsuit, in "golf" bags with wheels. Yes getting to check-in desk/rental car shop is a hass...

3. Foiling -- a little tired. TT etc -- tired and a little stiff the next day -- really depends how often I can get out.

Hi Matteo, hhmm that's what I was worrying, that strong wind will be needed. What are we talking about? 20 knots? Probably not something I'd get around here (south London) very often... One of the things that made me decide to sell me kitewing was that it really only was fun in 25knot winds with sk...

Hi Matteo, hhmm that's what I was worrying, that strong wind will be needed. What are we talking about? 20 knots? Probably not something I'd get around here (south London) very often...
