Re: Wingsurf/wingfoil, foilwing size

It'll only make any kind of sense if used in conditions where kitefoiling isn't possible or practical, and if you are unlucky enough to have lots and lots of those conditions. I'm not, and the appeal, compared to the need to buy a massive board, and a massive foil, and a wing, isn't that high. But ...

Re: Wingsurf/wingfoil, foilwing size

I use a 2500 Fanatic Foil and for me it works great. I am jibing pretty consistently on the foil now and working on tacks. I have tried other boards (currently using the SIC Maui 6’ sup foil and while i like the smaller board and will be trying smaller boards the main thing that seems to make this w...

Re: Technique for getting up goofy side?

I have students lay in the water with the front leg straight and back leg slightly bent. If you keep the front knee locked out (leg straight and toes pointing up), you will be surprised how little dive it takes to get up- imagine your front leg is a pole for pole vaulting and you will pop up going i...

Re: Delaminated valves.

I fix a lot of different kites and have replaced a lot of Valves- I don't remember ever replacing a Cabrinha Valve due to delamination. they are welded on and so there is no glue to fail. Over the past 4-5 years North valves seem to be free of issues as well. There was a time when they had a glue is...

Gotta love when the cab clowns contradict themselves in the same breath.

Oh, contradict. I get it now. :thumb:

Re: Damien LeRoy Injured in Paraglider Crash

Toby, personally I think that as this is not related to Kitesurfing, well wishes for Damo can, and should be kept in the kiting area due to who he is, but the other stuff should be moved to an off topic area. Trashing Damo after an incident like this (where the facts are not yet known), and potenti...

Re: The Cabrinha Fireball (New Connector Safety Issues)

...Really, your upset because they made a CGI video to promote their product? OK, well there's that I guess. Excellent point. I guess they could have not developed anything and just reverse engineered it from another brand and sold it cheap like most companies. It does cut out a lot of time and mon...

Re: The Cabrinha Fireball (New Connector Safety Issues)

I guess they could have not developed anything and just reverse engineered it from another brand and sold it cheap like most companies. It does cut out a lot of time and money. Would have been a better call than waisting both. Might have something worthwhile. Who knows, maybe this really is a game ...
