Also, I just discovered an additional benefit of the aluula kite: teaching! I’m teaching my 11 yr old and results are night and days when he is using the aluula kite. I wish I could post a video of him doing his first tack. But I’m on my phone and can’t figure out how to do it. Anyway, big big diffe...

After another beautiful morning foiling in long bay (TCI) on the Roam 10m in sub 10knt warm powerless wind (i guess ~8knt). I must say I also think this kite delivers the most performance per square meter of all kites have tried. Including foil kites... i’m blown away every time I fly it... Such a d...

I'm talking 75kg/m3 - at 25mm it feels really stiff so I would be scared that it would snap - I am still a bit scared to try... The foam I’m getting is 33mm and 80kg/m3 I think. I’ll do a test to see if it snaps when I bend it. Else I’ll use the kerfing technic... I realize using lamination on the ...

I'm back at it. :D I eventually managed to find 2 pieces of Divinycell foam, 1 inch thick, so I'm planning to use the time this winter to build a couple more pocket boards! I should receive them in the next couple weeks. I already built 2 pockets, using cheap polystiren foam, wood stringers and glas...

... Basically the kite back stalls horrendously if sheeted more than about half way in. Strangely even with a lot of depower trim it still occurs at about 2/3 full sheeted in. . I would need to check what is the « balance point » when flying the 5m. You mention sheeted halfway is the tipping point ...

I have Neo 5m 2018. It flies just fine. For sure you can’t fly it like a 10m... but i have used it In strong wind where it is pretty much plug and play... and on foil in « light wind » (~20knt) where you need to fly it more carefully not to backstall it. Check the bridles maybe... That's really int...

I bought a 12m Flite Gold, flew it in 20 to 25 knot wind. I was not impressed, just okay for boosting, best boost was 12.3m. Felt like a handful, I could feel every gust. The kite did not feel particularly responsive either. Maybe I have it trimmed wrong? Any ideas for improving the performance of ...

someone was asking about the 10m Leading edge size. I measured on my roam 10m yesterday. About 20cm (~8 inches) measured at the widest point with LE flat on the ground. So circumference should be ~40cm. I don’t have a regular Roam to compare. Another great session yesterday On a foil, with 12-15knt ...

I have a roam 10m I used quite a bit (~15 sessions I guess)
I posted reviews on the other thread. used it on foil, TT, and surfboard.
