Re: LF thruster bumpy ride on Al fuse

Thanks for the quick responses! I do foil in a lake with a ton of weeds. I wasn't enthusiastic about buying another heavy (and old) Aluminum fuselage but went ahead and did it anyway, along with shim kit for the rear stabilizer. I ordered the 2018 LF HD fuselage for $100; hopefully will make this th...

Re: LF thruster bumpy ride on Al fuse

hi, i had another sesh on this foil, this time in deep water and did not notice the bumps. i suppose it must have been a bottom effect? water depth on the first sesh was just barely deep enough ~3ft. i had a loose wing once on the impulse, and i noticed it as a discrete shift once in a while, felt ...

Re: 2022 North Navigator Bar front-line swivel

.... Pigtails - mine came with universal pigtails, pretty sure that is standard, you should be able to just swap the front line/back line pigtails to suit any kite. Yes, I ended up doing that but prefer the pigtails that have both a loop and knot so they can be hooked up either way. Probably doesn'...

Re: 2022 North Navigator Bar front-line swivel

I wouldn’t be without the auto untwist now that I have it on the Reedin bar. If manufacturers are going to stick with PU covered centre lines there doesn’t seem much excuse for going full out and doing automatic untwisting as well. How do you like the Reedin? Looks like the '21 can be had for price...

Re: 2022 North Navigator Bar front-line swivel

A nice thing about 10 and 12m line sections is that you can go from low to high V by just inserting a suitable SS ring at the handshake join of the two line sections. .......... Sounds like you might prefer an autoswivel? PS thought your review was well executed! Auto untwist needs two hole bar dug...

Re: 2022 North Navigator Bar front-line swivel

I have the 2021 and I don’t think they changed the swivel. It’s not like effortless but I don’t think it’s that difficult. Perhaps you’re used to a bar with ceramic ball bearings? Otherwise, if it’s really that difficult, perhaps you got a lemon? Can you take it back to the shop for an exchange? Th...

2022 North Navigator Bar front-line swivel

I purchased a 2022 North Navigator Bar and the front line (un)swivel on it is atrocious. Anyone have this bar? If so, can you comment if it loosens up over time? My very amateur review of the bar is here if anyone is interested. https://youtu.be/tU4ZBfg9nXA Unfortunately it's difficult to objectivel...

Re: Anyone use the JMG Wind-Kite Surfing app on their Garmin watch?

Thanks for all the feedback. I've been using the Surfr app also. Didn't really care about the social aspect but it's actually been beneficial in letting me know when the wind is rideable and people are hitting the local spot. I purchased a WearOS watch for it (Samsung Galaxy Watch 4) but the battery...

Re: Anyone use the JMG Wind-Kite Surfing app on their Garmin watch?

So it is popular. Will let you know in a week or so, when i tested it. I'm very interested in your feedback. I...

Re: Anyone use the JMG Wind-Kite Surfing app on their Garmin watch?

Try this app https://www.thesurfr.app/ works with large range of Android phones. It seems the height also use accelerometer info and is more similar to what Woo measure. Yeah, that's the app I was referring to in the OP, I don't see why it's necessary for the phone to be mounted on the board and I ...
