hi wondering if its a known issue of being "anti ambidextrous"? I can gybe and do surface foot switches on my good side but I have no hope of even riding toeside on my goofy side. It certainly feels like my brain just says 'no' to that. When attempting to ride toeside on my goofy side my hips just ...

Rider is towed to 10knots and released. This requirement will skew the results, there is no need to go that fast. I would bet the current record for distance for "normal" foils (not aquaskipper etc) would be the biplane wing that Horue made for this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS9pQStSDtw...

Not sure how much wind you are talking about, but in around 4-5 knots we can go on a 21m kite with the race wings, stall starting the foil kite , you need to be able to start gliding with a single pull of the kite in the powerzone. After you are on the foil if you dont mess up i guess the wind can g...

Race wings can go really low in the wind if you dont lose the speed, this means, you dont fail your manouvers, if you do, you will probably swim. The same low end can be done in a much easy way using a bigger foil, but even like that, speed is your friend, you just dont need such a big kite.

Race jibe, just not pointing so much downwind to have more speed. Speed if friend, its when the speed is gone that you start sinking.

Hey gang I have this dream of cruising around up on the foil doing smooth carving turns, zig zagging through swells and other kiters, big smile on my face and the wind in my hair, the only time my board touches the surface is when I water start at the beginning and come in at the end. Reality, my s...

So ive been riding alot more than writing last months, about this marginal wind stuff. I found out that i can go with the Moses Onda and a 13m R1V2 on 15m lines, almost as low in wind than with my Race Setup on 21m kite. That would be around 4-5 knots. It is ALOT more fun with the race setup tho

Using 11m lines on my 11 and 13, 13m lines on my 17m and 13 or 15m lines on my 21m (depending if lighter or not) R1V2 kites. I feel shorter lines give more control at speed and faster maneuvers.

Just mount tuttle to plate adapter and that makes you even longer mast by 10cm. Thats extra weight i dont w...
