Re: Hydrofoil bolts

If bolts are seized to the aluminum mast plate - drill them out.
The tracks are plastic, so you should be able to remove the bolts from the tracks.

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Let's really think about marketing here. … Why on earth would they abandon riders that usually only get 12ish knots? So now they are going to limit their appeal to only Hatteras, South Florida, the Gorge, and Hawaii (I know there are more). It makes sense to appeal to the broadest market possible b...

Re: Traveling with your Kiteboarding equipment Southwest airline

Keep it under 50 lbs and deal with the rest. Some people call it snowboarding equipment to avoid paying extra fees Usually agents won’t bother, but in broke-ass airports they’re occasionally nosy, then you open a case with airline and say “I flew there just fine and they charged me for same bag on t...

Re: Flysurfer goes Aluula

If Aluula was around for Best Hellfish, our new kites would had been obsolete years ago.
No offense to Cuben Fibre chosen for the Hellfish, yet for Cuba embargo reasons it would have been illegal in the US right off the bat and that killed the kiting revolution then.

Re: Kite school litigation in Texas

Long ago I was selling my first LEI and bundling it with a harness and a board. So the dude is trying the waist harness and it doesn’t fit him quite a bit even though being about same size as I am. And as he’s trying to buckle it, his t-shirt slides up showing a gun stuck in his pants, which he was ...

Efoils having Deja Vu moment of Segway fate

Those who’ve been electric rideable enthusiasts must remember fate of Segway in Germany - being met with unreasonable and technically impossible regulation, considered a moped and demanded to have head/tail light and being equipped with mechanical brakes.

Flysurfer kitefoil race kites have been using solid structure ribs for a while, yet only now (and largely inspired by SailGP) the carbon spar interlace technology adds structure along whole wingspan to dramatically improve wing efficiency. The expansion kit is available staring at 1499€ and should e...
