My question though is what is the goal of the progression you are striving for? Want to ride waves at Chicama, I get it, but mowing the lawn on a wing foil is hardly progress. But isn't this the very same no matter which windsport? If you are just mowing the lawn, because of lack of talent, it is t...
I do, find it great, almost like you can enjoy your session again when home, or share with others, and even better, sometimes shoot others when close or on the same wave. Friends really liked this picture from the sunset yesterday - I dont exactly know why, but would share: Sunset2.jpg Water is 6 de...
What is Brainchild's tech ??? Brainchild is the factory that Ralf Groesel (former Duotone designer) have set up in Europe Macedonia. They produce eg. The Harlem Force and the rumor has it, that Fone might use this facory/Campus for there next kite in colab with Ralf. Which could be a bold move from...

Use the biggest FluidT you got, they are quite low AR (5.8-9) and turns well. You can practice on your kitefoil beforehand ...
@ Peter Frank Judging from what kind of kites you have liked over the years, I'd say get rather an 8m Kestrel 😉 Ha haa, thanks mede, and yes it sounds interesting. Eventhough, their website says min 10.9 knots for a 75 kg rider. This sounds like a crazy amount of wind, where a 5 or 6 m2 Peak kite i...
Hi Oliver (Smeagle), interesting, agree with bragnouff, and I have a tip for you. I am experienced in kitefoil and can jibe with footswitch totally proficiently. Learning to wingfoil, I quite fast found the key (and difference) when carving and switching feet, as I had the same issues: Lean forward ...
Okay, to be realistic here: When some makes a crash on a kitefoil, and not super experienced, the kite very often goes down. And if wind is light it can happen for experienced ones, it might not be possible to relaunch fast (or at all), thus your foilboard dolphins itself downwind really fast, even ...
