Re: Cabrinha Contra 11m vs 13m

I have been riding the one strut Contras for a year now (200 sessions) I have 5,7,9 and 11. For a 64 kg rider the 9m is all I need using the Moses 633. I can keep the 9m in the air when it is not possible to ride so don't listen to the foil kite fans or think it has to be no strut. I have gone head ...

Re: Ram Airs Crash in 2021

Good to hear from you pumpy, I struggle with what makes a rider want to fly a ram air kite but good for them anyways, All newbies think twice before going down the dark road of ram airs.

Re: Predict a Flurry of rotator cuff and related shoulder injuries associated with wing foiling

I am a 62 year old kite foiler 16 sessions into winging. I have had injuries to my shoulders through Judo and have recovered through proper physio. I don't use a harness winging ands really can't see starting. We should be able to avoid injuries by honouring the physical condition we are in. I don't...

Re: Help - Best LEI kite size to start HF?

I ride the 2021 Cabrinha Contra one struts 5, 7, 9 and 11. At 140 lbs the 9m is the largest kite I need to hydrofoil with a Moses 633. The 11m would be the largest kite needed for a 175 lbs rider. These kites are amazing light and when combine with a light weight foiling bar, there is nothing better...

Re: why exactly is the flysurfer peak the best kite ever made?

I stay off the Peak 4 thread out of respect for the those who love this kite and have been waiting for this opposing view of the Peak. I drank the koolaid and spit it out. I had 15 sessions hydo-foiling with the Peak 4 8m and sold it. Don't tell me the 8m is a dog and all the smaller sizes are aweso...

Re: Fastest Turning Single Strut Kite?

I have the 2021 Cabrinha Contras in 5, 7, 9 and 11m. I can't compare with other brands but I can say that these kites are very fast even in the 11m range. Combining the speed, drift and ability to stay in the air make the Contra my go to foiling kite.

Re: looking for bar to foil with

I am quite comfortable with the fact that there is no auto flag out, of course there is a small loop at the V within reach that you can reach up to flag out on a single front line. Rehearse how you would handle an emergency situation and go ride. I use the KISS bar only for foiling (no jumping), The...

Re: looking for bar to foil with

I have been using the Kiss foil bar from Kiteboarding.com for two years and I cant say enough about it. Foiling with a normal clunky bar just feels wrong. The kiss bar is well thought out in all aspects, it is a must have for me.
