Re: Duotone 2024 gear release date

Ralf said in an interview that the 24 Evo SLS was the first design that 'shouldn't' be his. As in, B&M won't be paying royalties to him for kite sales for the 24 Evo SLS.

Re: High Y vs Low V bars

I was listening to the podcast interview with Ralf Groesel and the analogy that came to mind after listening to him talk about how kites turn is that a high Y kite (4 line not the virtual bridle 5 line kites like the Vegas/old Rebel) will turn like a kite with lines at the length of the split point ...

Re: Effect of shorter lines to kite’s high end wind range

Shorter lines help as the kite sits further forwards in the window and will generate less power as it flies through the window. It won't change the static pull of the kite however. To me it feels like it changes the amount of wind you can comfortably ride without needing to add trim (as opposed to ...

Re: Flysurfer Sonic 4

Interesting conversation about launching. I notice Jamie launches prefilled in his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAu3ZEvzsYA as does Dylan van de Meij here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPDboyQEV0U It's probably a bit confusing as even though the kites are prefilled, they are still ...

Re: Garmin app to measure jump height

I haven't kept completely up to date on the latest versions and I know there have been a few major versions since I last used it in anger. The last time I used it the height algorithm seemed pretty consistent to my internal thinking - but I'm mainly using it when I'm not boosting on a twin tip. The ...

Re: Flysurfer Sonic 4

How much maintenance are people finding necessary with the Sonic 4? With my souls I find I need very little tuning - even on second hand kites as the mixer seems to stay in tune for a long time and flies pretty well even when out of tune (my kite lines seem to need more frequent tuning than the mixe...

Re: North Orbit Ultra

Every business wants to be the next Apple. Maybe so. I think instead of incorporating this belief into the material of the kite what about the shape of the kite. Everybody knows the Orbit loops quick but not the quickest on the market - especially when you take aluula kites into perspective. Maybe ...

Re: WhatsApp group for selling kite gear uk

A whatsapp group sounds a terrible idea. I've seen a parents whatsapp group - and that's only got 30 people in it. Its just full of absolute nonsense. Imagine trying to search through a chat conversation to find a kite you are interested in. It would be horrendous How would you even join it if there...
