Re: Starting on Long mast vs Short mast

Yes. It’s the water start. Dive the kite I get up and go about 3 feet then it feels like I hit a wall and it stops than I fall off.

The Foil doesn’t rise up. I can’t seem to get enough forward momentum to ride the board flat on the water.

Thanks BW

Re: Starting on Long mast vs Short mast

Sorry. 24 in mast no, probs. 36 inches seems to be the challenge for me anyway.

Starting on Long mast vs Short mast

Thanks in advance.

I can ride a short Mast all over the place. Never been any difficulty doing that.

When I try a longer mast I seem to stall as soon as the Kite dives and I fall. What is the correct technique to get up and going on a long mast?

Thanks

Re: Self launch and self land option

Has anyone tried this with a Flysurfer 21M using the Carabiner?

Flysurfer is not putting the landing Balls on the back lines anymore that you used for back-stalling.

Thanks

Re: Kite foiling is dying sooo fast

When you weigh 245 PIES staring a wing is a pain in the KATOOTS. UNLIKE starting with a kite.

Re: Going from Short Mast to Long Mast

When I dive the Kite and get on top of the board I don’t go very far. It’s like I have no power and can’t get any speed to Taxi. Does that make sense??

My short Mast is a 24 in mast.

Going from Short Mast to Long Mast

Been riding short mast all over. Tried Long mast and I am stumped.

Any basic tips/Advice to get UP on Long mast? Not concerned about riding once up. It’s the START to get going along on top of water??

Thanks in advance!
