I had the exact same experience seabizzle. Tried out a 17m cloud c1 on my Slingshot SP . It was tough to go upwind even though I had been staying upwind on 14m rebel. I had been letting the bar out in gusts to push it forward in the window but it would actually drift back in the window. Maybe just ...
Who is behind the North KBHF design and if that's Ken Winner why not explaining the doubts here :?: Mahalo there, Interesting what you guys found on the net ;-) Thanks to take care! I am the man behind the Owing concept, not new as it was presented last year public at Garda's Foiling Week, to and w...
Has anyone tried to design a canard layout, with the small stabilizing wing ahead of the bigger main wing. There would be less flow disruption if you stagger the main wing and the stabilizing wing would be in clear flow and result in an easier more stable ride as speed increases. It would require m...
.........Were you there? The video you refer to as factual and uncut was shot by a guy who was trying to prove a point. I guess that point would be, that the only way to go in light wind, is with an 18 meter high aspect kite and a huge race board. The video does not shoot at Dimitri and/or his kite...
Let's see if any of your foil kite can go when it is barely hanging in the air in 4-5 knots. Ignorance certainly is bliss. Wind measured with calibrated +,-.5 knot at 10 knts, meter on beach 2.25 meters high, foil flyer 150 meters away. Never more than 6 knots with 5 average while rider flying. Rid...
Hi. I have a couple of questions for Armin. I own a quiver of Speed 4 (8,12,15 , 21); what is the Sonic that could complete this quiver? Using a twin tip (Flyradical M) and for a medium weight rider like me, what is the range of each size (11,15, 18) ? Thanks in advance. Carlo Armin, I'm also inter...
Lot of talk on lw kiting that this is the best kite but no video to proof that this kite can do better than other kite. If you want to lw kite with power to do more than riding back and forth you need kite with power which only foil kites deliver so far (spleene x-19, flysurfer 15-21, elf, chrono)....
