@rnelias, what you've linked is a T-nut that can do both M6 and M8, which is very weird. I think you're more thinking at the "locking" T-nuts, typically using a grub-screw to hold their position in the tracks. But I don't like those, because they require completely undoing 4 bolts. With standard sli...

I tend to share the same foil between kiting and winging, and I also sometimes do both in the same day. If I carry the foil mounted on the kitefoil board and decide that it's a wing day, then I'll have to remove it, and mount it on the wingboard, so it's actually preferable for me now to always remo...

I really don't see the point. Extra weight, extra places where you can have a little bit of slop develop over time, for what? A base plate with open countersunk holes takes literally 1mn max to tighten or loosen the 4 bolts. A track system with double entry like what Gong and North use is also super...

That sounds pretty bad! On the plus side, that'd get him an insurance business class upgrade to come back home.

It's been well over 20yrs, and I'd love to go back. We used to ride more south towards Diabat. Cleaner winds, better waves and more angle. Although Moulay can be a bit overcrowded and mostly a windsurf spot, there is a long stretch of beach a few kms north, we parked the rental Fiat Uno on the side ...

In my personal opinion if the wind is below 15 knots go outside elsewhere! (...) If anyone is really looking to advance on those off days / maybe not so strong days I recommend getting a workout in. (...) I'm sure those suggestions will go super well with the main contributors in that post :roll: :...

Riding back and forth with no tricks is typically what happens when you struggle to go upwind. Can't build enough upwind capital to bw able to spend it in jumps. The big LEI kites of yesteryear were suffering from having a LOT of grunt. Lots of pull for sure, but lots of drag that kept them quite de...

The only way you can get a batch of 23m kites made is go direct. There may only be 3 factories in China that make LEI kites. Get on alibaba and find the water kites and see if they will do a batch of 5 or 10. Keep yours and sell off the rest. All the kite companies are struggling and none are going...

You had different opinions there. But my advice would be to just stick to the 850 for now. The 1200 will lift too much too early and will not let you control that lift easily. Keep it for later if you really want to extend the low end in marginal conditions or use really small kites, once you're pro...

Ok, I’m going against the flow, for your first outings go with the 850 wing, you really don’t want to fly in the first sessions, just get used to the board with the foil attached. Starting with the 1200 will be like riding a bucking bronco, it will fly well before your ready for it but after a few ...
