My 6' 4" Fanatic board is 96 liters and you don't want much smaller volume than this for learning (for average weight rider). It is just under 5 kg (11 lb) which isn't bad. But the airlines will certainly charge for oversize with this. My bigger concern is my foil: My Fanatic 2000 cm wing is 1.8 kg ...

I fly a 8m and 12m Soul foil kites. The range with these kites is very good and I certainly don't need anything in between. For my smaller kites I have 7m and 5m Pivots. I rarely use the 7m and can go directly from my 8m Soul to my 5m. But occasionally I get overpowered even with the 5m (and then I ...

I follow threads like this because I learn from people like Gunnar (gmb13) and Peter Frank (and some others) and I respect their opinions. I pay less attention to those who have never even tried it but I guess it's a public forum and any anyone can post..

I have learned along with several of my friends on my 96 liter board. We all got standing up and going forward on the first day, and for those who had enough wind.. even foiling.

If Toby excluded these topics (by creating separate forums) it would be a mistake. I have seem other forum websites where there were too ma...

I think it is just fine to have both kitefoil and wingfoil under this "Hydrofoil" section

I agree with Peter (as usual).

Duotone has a new wing called the Unit without a rigid boom. I'm looking forward to seeing it. The boom is very comfortable in the beginning for those of us who were windsurfers many years ago, but perhaps it isn't really needed??? I would certainly be easier to pack up without a boom. My friends wh...
