+1 for Purdy-Kiter's comments ! Need to add three additional features that improve the light-wind relaunch of Aluula kites : 1. Aluula LE is very stiff, the kite hold its C shape when reverse-launching one side of the kite by pulling that steering line 2. the smaller LE diameter holds less water in ...

What size Aluula roam would you suggest I get. ... On a hs1050 Armstrong foil. Looking a Aluula roam for the next wind range 12-20 knots. First off, I'd recommend if at all possible, try before you buy. You will know far better than anyone on this forum what works best for you. Second, have you tri...

Had a great time today foiling with a 4m Aluula Roam, starting in very strong wind decreasing to very light by the end of the day. Very impressed with the top end control and handling when lit, and amazed at the power and speed in very light wind conditions. Anyone else finding the same on the small...

Maybe, if the width of the damage is less than 4 inches ( TearAid max width is 6 inches and needs at least an inch overlap on all sides for a reliable bond ). It must be applied smooth - no wrinkles in either the TearAid or ...

For a strong and durable fabric repair, the leading edge closure seam has to be opened at and a bit past the tear, and the scuff pad stitching removed and lifted so the repair patch can go under the scuff pad. Clean/degrease the fabric at the tear, dry it, trim away any loose fabric threads, align t...

Fantastic day today - had my younger daughter and my elder daughter's boyfriend out for an awesome efoil session, first time for both of them. Taking turns on the Lift 5'6" and 250 Surf/50 Stab they were both doing short foiling runs sitting on their knees and both were able to stand up and ride on ...

The Teflon tape on the male/LE bladder octopus valve assists in sealing the very slight interference fit between male and female octopus valves. Two to three wraps of Teflon tape is typically optimum, and does not need to be replaced with every dis-assembly & re-assembly provided the tape will still...
