Well I got new Ozone bars which are perfectly calibrated and my Helium 3 still drops out of the sky every now and then. Even when it was gusty 19-24kn, the 12m seems to come way too forward at the Zenith and hindenburgs. Even with the more stable bottom LE bridle setting. It is literally the worst k...

Yeah, I'm sure they do some minor adjustments but it is pretty disappointing to just buy other designs after all the awesome Bill Hansen designs. I'm yet to see any non-Hansen Switch kites at my local.

The spider bridle was Hansen's, so logical it's gone.

I have the Dakine Nitrous shorts and I run my own line with a shackle. I use it for strapless but use the hook for foil and strong winds. I've had the rope and also the chicken loop snap... I need to replace my old shorts and I can only get the Ion B2 shorts. Unfortunately it's not possible to rig m...

Not very happy with this kite...
Any tips welcome

So I had my first foil board tip meets mouth after a crash. Fortunately no teeth damage but lots of cuts on the lips.

Which makes me wonder, is a mouth guard a good idea whilst still learning or just bad luck.... I'm always wary of the foil coming towards me once I crash off....

I was also confused with both wings flexing down but that's how the grooves for the screws are. They cannot be mounted any different. And my board is a brand new SS Dwarfcraft. Had no issues with the hover glide foil and shorter solo mast yesterday. It must just be a lot harder to start with this li...
